Synthetic nonapeptide (9 amino acids, 848.81 Da) Available listed variants and pack sizes include 2mg 10 vials at $290
Also useful as an anti-inflammatory for arthritis and athletic recovery, hormone balancing (PMS/cramps), and mood support by helping produce serotonin
It is utilized in metabolic and cellular research to study fat metabolism, mitochondrial function, NAD+ levels, and energy expenditure pathways
Key metabolic effects include: Enhanced lipolysis through activation of fat breakdown pathways independent of growth hormone receptors Suppressed lipogenesis reducing conversion of non-fat substrates into stored fat Increased fat oxidation and energy expenditure in multiple species models No adverse effects on insulin sensitivity or glucose metabolism, unlike full-length growth hormone Independence from IGF-1 Signaling A critical distinction of AOD-9604 is its lack of IGF-1 pathway activation: No measurable changes in serum IGF-1 levels in human clinical trials Absence of growth-promoting effects on tissues No impact on blood glucose regulation or insulin resistance Avoidance of typical growth hormone side effects including edema and tissue overgrowth Metabolic Pathway Modulation Research indicates AOD-9604 influences energy metabolism through multiple mechanisms: Increased whole-body fat oxidation rates in animal models Enhanced metabolic rate without stimulant-like effects Potential modulation of uncoupling proteins in adipose tissue Effects on lipid metabolism that persist beyond plasma clearance Critical Mechanistic Gap: Despite extensive research, the primary receptor target for AOD-9604 remains unidentified
It is best to have a conversation with your healthcare provider to understand the full scope of the treatment and what the relevant timelines would be based on your health history
