AOD-9604
Modified growth hormone fragment for fat burning
Overview
AOD-9604 is a peptide fragment of the C-terminus of human growth hormone (hGH) that retains the fat-burning properties of hGH without the effects on insulin or growth.
Key Information
Mechanism
Mimics the lipolytic (fat-burning) action of natural growth hormone by stimulating lipolysis and inhibiting lipogenesis without affecting blood glucose.
Benefits
- Promotes lipolysis (fat burning)
- No impact on blood sugar
- No effect on IGF-1
- Oral bioavailability studied
Side Effects
- Minimal reported
- No significant adverse effects in trials
Contraindications
- None established
Evidence Summary
Phase 2b trial showed fat mass reduction without affecting glucose or IGF-1.
Research
Phase 2b trials showed significant fat mass reduction. No effect on IGF-1 or insulin sensitivity.

Reviews
Used AOD-9604 for 2 months. Maybe lost 2-3 lbs but could be diet. Very mild compared to GLP-1 agonists. Good that it doesn't affect blood sugar but the fat loss is underwhelming.
AOD-9604 is extremely safe with no side effects. Fat loss is very subtle though - don't expect dramatic results. Good for someone who wants a gentle nudge without stimulant effects.
