How It Works
AOD 9604 stimulates lipolysis (fat breakdown) and inhibits lipogenesis (fat formation) by mimicking the lipolytic domain of growth hormone. It activates the beta-3 adrenergic receptor pathway in adipose tissue without affecting blood sugar levels or promoting growth in other tissues. This makes it highly targeted for fat loss without the side effects of full HGH.
Key Research Findings
- Stimulates fat breakdown without affecting IGF-1 levels or insulin sensitivity
- Shown to reduce body fat in obese animal models
- Has FDA GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status as a food supplement
- May support cartilage repair and bone health in addition to fat metabolism

Follow these steps to properly reconstitute AOD 9604 for research use:
- Step 1: Swab the tops of both the peptide vial and bacteriostatic water vial with alcohol.
- Step 2: Draw your desired amount of BAC water (commonly 1–2 mL) into an insulin syringe.
- Step 3: Inject the water slowly into the peptide vial, aiming at the glass wall — not directly onto the powder.
- Step 4: Swirl the vial gently until fully dissolved — never shake.
- Step 5: Refrigerate at 36–46°F (2–8°C). Use within 4–6 weeks.
