What is AOD-9604?
AOD-9604 is a modified fragment of human growth hormone (HGH fragment 177-191) specifically designed for fat metabolism. It stimulates lipolysis and inhibits lipogenesis without affecting blood sugar or tissue growth, making it a targeted fat-loss peptide without typical GH side effects.
Key Benefits & Mechanisms
Stimulates fat breakdown (lipolysis)
Inhibits fat formation (lipogenesis)
No effect on blood sugar or growth
Does not cause insulin resistance
Promotes cartilage repair
No antibody formation reported
Mimics natural GH fat-burning mechanism
Research Summary
AOD-9604 completed Phase II clinical trials for obesity. TGA-approved in Australia as a food supplement. Demonstrated significant fat reduction without GH-related side effects. Also shows promise for osteoarthritis and cartilage repair.
Related Peptides
Semaglutide
GLP-1 Receptor Agonist
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist with proven efficacy for weight management and glycemic control. FDA-approved as Ozempic (diabetes) and Wegovy (weight management), it mimics the incretin hormone GLP-1 to regulate appetite and blood sugar.
MetabolicTirzepatide
GIP/GLP-1 Dual Receptor Agonist
Tirzepatide is a first-in-class dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist. FDA-approved as Mounjaro (diabetes) and Zepbound (weight management). It offers superior weight loss compared to GLP-1-only agonists by targeting two incretin pathways simultaneously.
MetabolicIpamorelin
Growth Hormone Secretagogue
Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone secretagogue that stimulates natural GH release without significantly affecting cortisol or prolactin levels. It is considered one of the safest and most selective GHRPs available.
