AOD9604 is a small, synthetic peptide derived from the tail end of human growth hormone. It was developed with one goal: to mimic the fat-burning part of growth hormone, without the rest of its action. Researchers therefore follow it mainly in the context of fat metabolism. At GradePurity you buy AOD9604 as a research-grade vial: ≥99% HPLC purity and same-day shipping from the Netherlands. It is explicitly a research raw material for the lab, not for human use.

What does AOD9604 do?

In research, AOD9604 is looked at mainly around fat. It is a small piece of growth hormone, cut out and modified — precisely the part that has to do with fat breakdown. It is thought to prompt the breakdown of fat and slow the storage of new fat, while largely leaving the growth side of growth hormone alone. That makes it interesting for researchers who want to study fat metabolism without the broader effects of full growth hormone. At GradePurity you buy it purely as a research raw material, not for use in humans.

How does AOD9604 work?

The trick of AOD9604 is in what it does and doesn't mimic. Full growth hormone does two things at once: it prompts fat breakdown and it drives growth and blood sugar. AOD9604 is designed so that mainly the fat side remains. It is thought to prompt fat cells into lipolysis — the release of fat — while also curbing the formation of new fat, without dragging along the blood sugar or growth route you see with real growth hormone. Most of what we know comes from pre-clinical and early clinical research. GradePurity supplies AOD9604 for research only.

AOD9604 and growth hormone fragment 176-191

AOD9604 isn't a standalone find but a refinement of the well-known growth hormone fragment 176-191 — the tail section of growth hormone linked in research to fat breakdown. AOD9604 is essentially that same fragment with a small change at the end of the molecule. In studies the two are therefore often mentioned in the same breath: the fragment as the base, AOD9604 as the refined version of it. We supply AOD9604 as a research-grade vial; we don't carry the plain 176-191 fragment.

AOD9604 vs. the GLP-1 peptides

Anyone researching fat metabolism soon runs into two very different families. The GLP-1 side — such as retatrutide — acts on appetite and satiety via the gut-brain axis. AOD9604 works from a completely different angle: it targets the fat cell itself and fat breakdown, not hunger. In research they aren't competitors, then, but two separate routes to the same theme. Want to see the appetite side? You'll find retatrutide separately in our range; AOD9604 is the fat-cell side of that story. All for research only.

AOD9604 dosage

We deliberately leave the amount open: AOD9604 is a research compound, and we don't provide human dosing advice. In the literature it is usually studied in small amounts per protocol, after reconstitution with bacteriostatic water. Need to convert amounts for a research setup? We have a dedicated calculator for that. Keep the reconstituted peptide refrigerated and use it within the recommended window.

AOD9604 side effects

AOD9604 is known in research for a mild profile. In the clinical studies that have been done it was generally well tolerated, and mostly mild reactions were reported, such as a reaction at the injection site or headache. Because it largely leaves the blood sugar and growth route alone, several effects of full growth hormone fall away. Large long-term data in humans is lacking. GradePurity supplies AOD9604 for research only.

Is AOD9604 legal?

In the Netherlands you may buy and sell AOD9604 for experimental laboratory research that isn't applied to humans or animals. It's not a medicine: its medical development for obesity didn't reach the finish line, and it isn't prescribed for human use anywhere. For athletes, it's important to know that growth hormone fragments are on the WADA prohibited list and so banned in competition. We supply AOD9604 strictly as a research-grade compound.

Purity & lab testing

With a peptide, reliable research hinges on one thing: knowing the vial contains what the label says. That's why we test every batch of AOD9604 by HPLC for ≥99% purity and for identity, with a COA per lot, and ship it freeze-dried so it reaches you stable. That way you know exactly what you're holding — the exact specifications are in the table at the bottom of this page.
