AOD-9604 is a fragment of the human growth hormone developed for the treatment of obesity. It is designed to mimic the fat-burning properties of hGH without its muscle-building effects or the common side effects.

This is achieved through Tyrosine (TYR), a portion of the amino acid sequence responsible for fat reduction and tissue repair. It mimics the effects of hGH on lipid metabolism without promoting growth or triggering pro-diabetic effects.

Where GLP-1 agonists suppress appetite and influence insulin secretion, AOD-9604 inhibits lipoprotein lipase activity in fat tissue, stimulating lipolysis in adipocytes. It specifically targets areas of the body with high fat deposits, preventing the conversion of carbohydrates into triglycerides and fatty acids and blocking the process of lipogenesis.

AOD-9604 can be particularly useful when stacked with GLP-1s to combat plateaus and target stubborn fat that diet and exercise alone may not eliminate.

Additional Benefits

• Increases metabolism
• Stimulates lipolysis
• Inhibits lipogenesis (formation of fat cells)
• Promotes bone and cartilage repair
• Improves bone strength
• Does not impact blood sugar levels
• Enhances collagen production and skin elasticity
• Possesses anti-inflammatory properties (beneficial for arthritis)
• Enhances joint flexibility and mobility
• Prevents medication-related muscle-wasting

Possible Side Effects

• Injection site reactions (redness, swelling, itching)
• Headache
• Fatigue
• Dizziness
• Cough
• Chest tightness or constriction
• Heart palpitations
• Cold-like symptoms

Contraindications

Do not use AOD-9604 if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

AOD-9604 and GLP-1s
It is strongly recommended that individuals taking GLP-1 medications who still have 30+ pounds to lose, or who are slow responders or have plateaued, consider adding AOD-9604 to their protocol for a minimum of 3 months. The combination may significantly improve outcomes.
