Quick Summary

Fat-burning HGH fragment — lipolysis without anabolic effects

Also called: Advanced Obesity Drug 9604, HGH Fragment 176-191

What is AOD-9604?

AOD-9604 is a modified fragment of the human growth hormone (HGH) molecule, specifically the C-terminal end (amino acids 176-191). It was developed to isolate the fat-burning properties of HGH without the anabolic, diabetogenic, or other systemic effects of full HGH. It has demonstrated significant fat loss in animal studies and has been granted GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) status by the FDA.

How It's Made

AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide fragment of the HGH molecule. It is produced via solid-phase peptide synthesis and is one of the few peptides to have received GRAS status from the FDA, though it is not approved as a drug.
