AOD-9604

Anti-Obesity Drug 9604 · HGH Fragment 176-191

A fragment of HGH specifically targeting fat metabolism

Typical Dose

300 mcg per day

Route

Subcutaneous

Frequency

Once daily, fasted

Cycle

12–16 weeks

Overview

AOD-9604 is a small piece of human growth hormone — specifically the part that handles fat metabolism. Scientists figured out that you don't need the whole growth hormone molecule to get fat-burning effects. By isolating just that fragment, they created a compound that targets fat cells directly without the blood sugar issues, fluid retention, or other side effects that come with full HGH. It was originally developed as an anti-obesity drug in Australia.

Key Benefits

Stimulates fat breakdown (lipolysis)
Inhibits fat formation (lipogenesis)
Does not affect blood sugar or IGF-1 levels
May support cartilage and bone repair

Mechanism of Action

AOD-9604 works directly on fat cells. It turns on the process that breaks fat down into usable energy (lipolysis) and turns off the process that creates new fat cells (lipogenesis). Because it is just a fragment of growth hormone and doesn't bind to the full growth hormone receptor, it skips all the side effects of HGH — no blood sugar spikes, no water retention, no IGF-1 elevation. It is essentially a targeted fat-burning signal.
