Description

AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide modified from the C-terminal fragment (amino acids 177–191) of human growth hormone, specifically designed to target fat metabolism. It works by stimulating lipolysis (the breakdown of stored body fat) and inhibiting lipogenesis (the formation of new fat cells) without affecting blood sugar levels or tissue growth. Because it isolates the fat-reducing region of growth hormone, it is widely researched and used off-label for targeted weight loss and cartilage repair without the side effects associated with full-length growth hormone.
