About AOD9604
AOD9604 is a synthetic peptide based on a modified fragment of human growth hormone (hGH) specifically the 176-191 segment with an added di-sulfide bridge. It is studied for its potential role in metabolic research.

AOD9604 Research
1. AOD9604 and Fat Metabolism
AOD9604 is a modified peptide fragment derived from human growth hormone (HGH), specifically from the C-terminal region (amino acids 177–191). It was created to reduce body fat percentage without interfering with the natural insulin levels. Studies demonstrate that AOD9604 functions in stimulating the breaking down of fat (lipolysis) and prevent formation of new fat cells (lipogenesis).
According to a research, AOD9604 has been shown to stimulate the reduction of body fat specifically to the area of stubborn fat deposits (in particular abdominal fat) without any adverse affects to lean body mass. Unlike the full length growth hormone, AOD9604 seems to not stimulate IGF-1 which is the major factor that brings about growth related unwanted side effects.
2. Mechanism of Action
AOD9604 supports the burning of fat through adapting the fat-loss effects of growth hormone, but unlike HGH it does not promote unnecessary bone or other organs' growth, making it a much safer alternative. It works by stimulating body fat cells receptor known as adipose tissue that break down stored fat and release them into the bloodstream for use as energy.
Research has also shown AOD9604 to stimulate lipolysis (the breakdown or destruction of fat) and energy use, which can support the loss of excess body fat even without doing drastic changes to your diet and exercise habits. Because it acts only with fat tissue receptors, it is believed to be a safer and more specific alternative to conventional growth hormone therapies.
3. Clinical Research and Findings
Some of the human studies have been conducted on AOD9604 regarding its safety and metabolic effects. One of the clinical studies was performed in 300 obese adults and they received orally AOD 9604 (at doses from 0.25 mg to 1 mg daily) or placebo during a period of 12 weeks. This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

Results showed that participants taking AOD9604 experienced a modest but measurable reduction in body fat, averaging around 2.6 kg more fat loss compared to 0.8 kg in the placebo group. Importantly, AOD9604 was found to be safe and well-tolerated, with no significant changes in blood sugar, insulin, or IGF-1 levels.
Over time, these results indicate that although AOD9604 may not cause much substantial weight loss, but it promotes healthy fat loss while avoiding the negative hormonal reactions associated with standard growth hormone therapy.
4. Safety and Tolerability
AOD9604 is safe for human use according to clinical data. In all studies there were no negative effects that are related to the growth hormone activity. For example regulating the blood glucose, insulin sensitivity, or unneccessary growth of organs.
The most common mild side effects were headache, mild fatigue or irritation at the injection site (if injected subcutaneously). These were very minor and be deal with instantly. AOD9604 was accepted for long-term use, with an excellent safety profile and good tolerability at all doses tested.
5. Pharmacokinetics and Administration
AOD9604 can either be taken in the oral form or through subcutaneous injection (depending on the preparation). It has a short plasma half-life, but action is mediated through receptor pathways that impact fat metabolism for hours after getting into the body.
The usual dosage used in research studies ranged from 0.25 mg to 1 mg per day, administered over several weeks. It’s stability, safety, and little to low hormonal side effect making it to be a promising option for further investigation in support of weight management and metabolic health.

What are typical delivery times?
Delivery for our free shipping option typically takes 3-5 business days. We ship from right here in the USA to all US addresses. We also provide an option for next day shipping for an extra charge. Please allow 24 hours for processing.
Every package comes with professional packaging, tracking updates via email, and does not require a signature upon delivery.
How should these compounds be stored?
How should these compounds be stored?
Our peptides are shipping in lyophilized form, which is stable at room temperature during transit. Once received, store unopened vials in a cool, dry place.
Are products stable during shipping?
Are products stable during shipping?
Our peptides are shipped in lyophilized (freeze-dried) form, which ensures stability during transit. This powder form is highly stable at room temperature and resistant to temperature fluctuations that occur during shipping.
Research has shown no significant degradation or loss of purity when lyophilized peptides are exposed to room temperature during typical shipping timeframes. Each batch is verified for purity upon production, and our stability testing confirms maintenance of product integrity during standard shipping conditions.
