Overview

HGH Frag 176-191 is a synthetic fragment of the human growth hormone molecule, corresponding to the region associated with fat metabolism. Like AOD-9604, it is designed to promote lipolysis (fat burning) while avoiding the broader metabolic effects of full HGH. It is a staple of fat-loss research protocols.

Dosing

Injection

Starting dose
250 mcg
Common dose
250–500 mcg
Frequency
1–2× daily
Notes
Often dosed fasted; commonly stacked with GHRPs.

How it works

HGH Frag 176-191 mimics the lipolytic region of HGH, stimulating the breakdown of stored fat and reducing fat storage without raising blood sugar or promoting growth the way full HGH does. It is often used in cycles around training and fasting.

Common research uses

  • Fat metabolism and lipolysis research
  • Weight and body-composition protocols
  • Cutting-phase research studies
  • Metabolic studies alongside HGH research

Considerations

Evidence is largely preclinical and from AOD-9604-related research. Results depend strongly on diet and training. Like all research peptides, purity and handling are critical.
