AOD-9604
Modified GH fragment. Lipolytic without affecting glucose or IGF-1.
What AOD-9604 is
AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide derived from the C-terminal fragment of human growth hormone (hGH), specifically corresponding to amino acids 177-191. It was engineered to mimic the lipolytic (fat-mobilizing) effects of hGH while minimizing its impact on glucose metabolism and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels. The peptide is thought to exert its effects primarily on adipose tissue by stimulating the breakdown of fat and inhibiting the formation of new fat. While the exact receptor mechanisms are still under investigation, it is believed to act on specific fat cell receptors involved in lipid metabolism, without stimulating cell proliferation or promoting growth. Due to its relatively short half-life, research protocols often involve frequent administration.
In research settings, AOD-9604 is typically administered subcutaneously, with common experimental doses ranging from 300 to 500 micrograms. The timeframe for observing potential effects on fat metabolism and body composition would generally extend over several weeks to months of consistent application, depending on the specific research parameters. Researchers may explore its synergy with other metabolic research compounds. Typical study cycle lengths could range from 4 to 12 weeks. It is important for researchers to ensure peptide purity, proper storage, and sterile preparation, as AOD-9604 is strictly for research purposes and is not approved for human therapeutic use or consumption.

Storage & handling
LYOPHILIZED (unopened): store at 2-8°C (fridge) or -20°C (freezer) long-term. Protect from light.
AFTER RECONSTITUTION: refrigerate 2-8°C. Do NOT freeze. Discard after 30 days OR if the solution becomes cloudy, discolored, or contains particulates.
What people track
Because individual responses vary so much, the useful thing is your own record: what you logged and when, how much is left in the vial, and how your chosen metrics move over the weeks. Peptide Wizard keeps all of that in one place, alongside a 3D reference vial for AOD-9604.
