AOD-9604

Growth hormone fragment for targeted fat loss

AOD-9604 is a modified fragment of the GH molecule (amino acids 176–191), injected subcutaneously at 250–300mcg per day on an empty stomach. It mimics the fat-burning action of growth hormone without the blood sugar-raising effects of full HGH — stimulating lipolysis (fat breakdown) and inhibiting lipogenesis. In looksmaxxing contexts it is used for reducing stubborn facial fat deposits and achieving the lower body-fat percentages at which facial structure becomes visible. Once had FDA GRAS status for obesity treatment before clinical trials were discontinued. Currently a research chemical. Does not suppress endogenous GH production.
