AOD-9604
A hGH fragment studied for fat metabolism without insulin effects.
Overview
AOD-9604 is a modified fragment of the human growth hormone (hGH) molecule, specifically the lipolytic (fat-burning) region of hGH. It was designed to stimulate fat metabolism and fat loss while avoiding the growth-promoting and insulin-sensitizing effects of full hGH.
Dosing

- 300 mcg

Reported research/reference doses for educational purposes only. Always verify against primary literature and applicable regulations. Not medical advice.
How it works
AOD-9604 mimics the lipolytic action of hGH by stimulating the breakdown of stored fat (lipolysis) and inhibiting further fat storage. Because it is only a fragment, it does not bind the hGH receptor in a way that produces systemic growth effects or elevated blood sugar.
Common research uses
- Fat metabolism and lipolysis research
- Weight management studies
- Body composition research
- Lipid profile investigations
Considerations
Most evidence is from animal and in-vitro models; human fat-loss results are mixed. Research compound. Results may depend heavily on diet and activity.
