Mechanism of Action

AOD-9604 is a 16-amino-acid C-terminal fragment of human growth hormone (residues 176–191) that retains the lipolytic properties of hGH without the growth-promoting or insulin-desensitizing effects. It stimulates fat breakdown (lipolysis) and inhibits lipogenesis by activating beta-3 adrenergic receptors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the standard AOD-9604 dosage?

Most research protocols use 300–500 mcg per day administered via subcutaneous injection. Some protocols split the dose into two 150–250 mcg injections.

When should AOD-9604 be injected?

Research suggests injecting AOD-9604 in a fasted state — either first thing in the morning or 30 minutes before exercise — to maximize lipolytic activity.

How long is an AOD-9604 research cycle?

Typical research cycles run 12–16 weeks. Some protocols use 8-week cycles with a 4-week break before resuming.

Does AOD-9604 require reconstitution?

Yes. AOD-9604 is supplied as a lyophilized powder and must be reconstituted with bacteriostatic water before injection. Standard reconstitution is 1–2 mL BAC water per vial.

What are the reported side effects of AOD-9604?

AOD-9604 has a favorable safety profile in research. Reported observations include mild injection site reactions. Unlike full hGH, it does not appear to affect blood glucose or IGF-1 levels.
