AOD-9604 (5MG)
Original price was: $47.00.$42.00Current price is: $42.00.
Contents: Lyophilized Powder in 3ml vial
Requires reconstitution with bacteriostatic water
Please Note: AOD-9604 will look cloudy when reconstituted and will also naturally gel over time, even when mixed with acetic acid. This is a normal characteristic of the product and does not affect its usability. In fact, gelled AOD-9604 remains fully functional and can still be used for any research application without issue.
We highly recommend using 1ML acetic acid and 2ML bacteriostatic water. If the product begins to gel simply add more acetic acid. Always reconstitute AOD-9604 slowly. Using too much agitation can cause AOD-9604 to turn solid. To mitigate this issue altogether simply preload all your syringes immediately after reconstitution.
The best way to reconstitute AOD is by using 2ML of Bacteriostatic Water and then slowly add Acetic Acid. Do not splash acetic acid in but rather add a little at a time.
Our AOD is of ultra-high purity, which means it may gel faster than other formulations on the market. This is not a defect but rather a result of its exceptional quality and concentration.
Please be aware that we do not offer refunds or exchanges on this product. By purchasing AOD-9604, you acknowledge and accept these characteristics. To avoid this issue altogether we highly recommend researching Tesamorelin, which is far more effective for the use case based on published clinical data.

Description
What is AOD-9604?
AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide fragment derived from the C-terminal end of human growth hormone (hGH), corresponding to amino acids 177–191. It has been extensively studied for its lipolytic (fat metabolism) properties without the broader growth-promoting effects of full-length hGH.
In preclinical research, AOD-9604 has been investigated for its ability to stimulate fat breakdown (lipolysis) and inhibit lipogenesis, particularly in models of obesity, metabolic syndrome, and energy balance. Studies suggest it may act through beta-adrenergic independent mechanisms, providing a unique pathway for studying adipose tissue regulation.
The compound is supplied with 3mL of Acetic Acid (0.6%) for reconstitution, ensuring optimal peptide stability and solubility for laboratory preparation.

Summary of Preclinical Research Findings
Fat Metabolism and Lipolysis
AOD-9604 has been studied for its ability to enhance lipolysis and reduce lipogenesis in adipose tissue. Research demonstrates that it may activate fat oxidation and mobilization processes without stimulating insulin resistance or altering glucose metabolism.
Body Composition and Energy Balance
In rodent and in vitro models, AOD-9604 has been shown to influence body composition by selectively reducing fat mass while preserving lean tissue. Its unique mechanism provides a valuable tool for exploring metabolic rate regulation and energy expenditure independent of traditional GH pathways.
Metabolic Health and Obesity Models
Preclinical studies suggest AOD-9604 may aid in maintaining metabolic equilibrium in high-fat diet and obesity models. It has been used to investigate potential links between GH fragments, adipocyte metabolism, and thermogenic activation in brown and white fat tissue.
Cartilage and Tissue Regeneration
Emerging studies have explored AOD-9604’s potential effects on cartilage protection and repair through localized GH fragment signaling, making it of growing interest in regenerative and orthopedic research.
