What is AOD-9604?
AOD-9604 (Anti-Obesity Drug 9604) is a modified fragment of human growth hormone (amino acids 177-191) that retains fat-burning properties without affecting blood sugar or growth. It stimulates lipolysis and inhibits lipogenesis.
The 10mg vial provides 20-33 days of research — better value for extended protocols.

Research Considerations
Mechanism of Action
- Lipolysis — Stimulates fat breakdown
- Lipogenesis inhibition — Blocks fat formation
- HGH fragment — Only metabolic effects
- No IGF-1 impact — Safer profile
Timing
- Morning, fasted
- 20-30 min before food
- Can combine with exercise
