AOD-9604, explained

AOD-9604 is a modified growth-hormone fragment studied for fat breakdown and fat use in animals.

Broader human studiesRead the sources

What it’s used for

Reported topic

Weight research

Rat findings and reported uses do not show that it causes weight loss in people.

Reported topic

Joint research

Studies of joint cartilage and arthritis concern animals.

Research interests
Body fat · Metabolism · Joint cartilage

Human studies exist, but weight-loss benefit is not established here.

What to expect

  1. Weeks 1–2

    Little noticeable change

  2. Weeks 3–4

    Subtle body-composition changes

  3. Weeks 5–8

    Fat loss reported

  4. Weeks 8–12

    Changes continue

Side effects & safety

Side effects

  • Chest tightness and euphoria after IV dosing were flagged as possibly related in an FDA review
  • The FDA notes serious adverse events, but whether AOD-9604 caused them is unclear

Stop and get help if

  • Ongoing stomach or gut discomfort
  • Chest tightness
  • Severe redness or swelling, or signs of infection
  • Signs of an allergic reaction

What regs say

  • Long-term and injection safety are unknown; the FDA flagged immune-reaction and impurity concerns.
  • Food-ingredient safety status isn't the same as approval as an injectable drug, and no FDA-approved product exists.

Avoid or check first

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding — safety hasn't been studied
  • Drug-tested athletes — it's reported as WADA-prohibited

In sport

  • The reference reports: banned at all times.

How to mix5 steps
  1. Wipe both tops

    Wash your hands, then swab both rubber vial tops with alcohol. Let them dry.

  2. Draw the water

    Use a new sterile syringe to draw the water volume selected in the calculator.

  3. Run it down the wall

    Introduce the water slowly down the inside glass wall, rather than directly onto the powder.

  4. Swirl, don’t shake

    Gently swirl or roll the vial. Allow time for the powder to dissolve.

  5. Label the vial

    Write the preparation date and the amount and final volume on the vial label.

Injecting under the skinWhere, rotating sites, which syringe

Where

Subcutaneous injections go into the fatty layer beneath the skin. Common sites include the abdomen, outer thigh and upper arm. Keep at least 5 cm from the navel and avoid bruised, irritated or damaged skin.

Rotate sites

Change the spot each time. Clean the skin and let it dry.

Single-use equipment

Use a new sterile needle and syringe each time. Place used needles in a sharps container.

Storage

Storage

Refrigerated at 2–8°C. Reported period: 28 days.

Combining it with others

What the research says

Fat metabolism in mice

Mouse research measured fat breakdown and use. AOD-9604 is a modified piece of growth hormone; it binds differently from the full hormone.

How long it stays in your body

Half-life is the time it takes for the amount in the body to fall by half. It does not tell you how long effects last.

Questions

What does 2.5mg mean?

It describes an amount of material in the unit stated on the label. It does not describe liquid volume, a dose, or how to prepare the product.

Read more about amounts
Does purity mean it is sterile?

No. Purity and sterility require different tests. An endotoxin result also does not establish sterility.

About testing
Can I calculate concentration?

You need a mass in mg and either a final volume or a target concentration. IU and blends require separate, verified information.
