AOD-9604
Fat Loss
The lipolytic fragment of human growth hormone — without the growth.
Research chemical vendors can't legally label products with the real name, so AOD-9604 often appears under coded SKUs. If you're shopping and see any of these, it's the same compound:
- AOD
- AOD9604
Codes shown are for identification only. Always verify third-party COAs before purchase.
AOD-9604 is the modified C terminal fragment (amino acids 176–191) of hGH. It was engineered to retain the fat mobilizing properties of growth hormone while stripping out the IGF-1-driven anabolic and glucose altering effects.
- Mobilization of stored fat for energy, particularly around the midsection
- Does not raise IGF-1 or blood sugar, so it stacks cleanly with most other peptides
- Popular in 'recomp' phases where users want to drop fat without losing strength
Educational only · Not a vendor claim
Mimics the lipolytic tail of hGH (aa 176–191) without raising IGF-1 or blood sugar.
- Mobilizes stored fat for energy
- Spares lean tissue
- No glucose disruption
- Some cartilage repair signal in studies
- Modest, gradual fat reduction
- No GH related water retention
- No appetite change
- Clean side effect profile
- Stacks with most peptides
- Safe with insulin sensitive users
- Slower than GLP-1s or tesamorelin
- Best results require lean baseline
- Daily injection needed
- Mild injection site redness
- Occasional fatigue
- Rare nausea

Typical timeline
General pattern for the Fat Loss category. Individual response varies.
- Week 1Titrate up slowly. Expect appetite drop, mild nausea, and possible constipation with GLP-1s. Hydrate and lean on fiber.
- Weeks 2–4Steady weight trend down (0.5–1.5 lb/week is healthy). Prioritize protein (~1 g/lb lean mass) to protect muscle.
- Weeks 4–8Body composition visibly shifts. Add resistance training if you haven't — muscle preservation is the whole game.
- Weeks 8+Re-evaluate dose. Consider a maintenance drop or a scheduled break to reset receptor sensitivity.

Common combinations experienced users run alongside AOD-9604. Always add one peptide at a time so you can attribute effects and side effects.

The reconstitution math
- 1Reconstitute the 10 mg vial with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water. Tilt — don't shake.
- 2Concentration becomes 5,000 mcg/mL (5 mg/mL).
- 3For a 300 mcg dose, draw 0.060 mL — that's 6 units on a 1 mL insulin syringe.
- 4One vial gives you approximately 33 doses.
Reminder: 100 units on an insulin syringe = 1 mL. Always start at half the listed dose for the first week and rotate injection sites between arms, legs, abdomen, and glutes.
