What is AOD 9604?
AOD 9604 is a synthetic 16-amino-acid peptide based on the C-terminal end of human growth hormone (residues 177 to 191), with an extra tyrosine added at the start. It was developed in Australia as a possible anti-obesity agent and studied for its effects on fat metabolism. It does not carry the full activity of growth hormone. Larger human trials for weight loss did not show a meaningful benefit, and development for obesity was stopped.

Available sizes: 2mg, 5mg and 10mg
AOD 9604 is offered in three vial sizes: 2mg, 5mg and 10mg. Every size contains the same compound. The figure is the total amount of peptide in the vial, supplied as a dry (lyophilised) powder; it is not a concentration. A concentration only exists once a lab dissolves the powder, and it depends on how much solvent is used, so a larger vial is not “stronger”, it simply holds more material. The 10mg vial holds five times as much as the 2mg vial.
