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
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.
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.
Typical Dose
300 mcg per day
Dose Range
250–500 mcg/day
Frequency
Once daily, fasted
Route
Subcutaneous injection
Cycle Length
12–16 weeks
CLINICAL NOTES
Most effective when taken in a fasted state. Combine with a caloric deficit for best results.
