What AOD-9604 Is Studied For
AOD-9604 is a small fragment of the human growth hormone molecule, developed to target fat metabolism without the broader growth effects of full growth hormone. Research has looked at fat breakdown as well as cartilage and joint health. It is a research peptide, prescription-only.

What Is AOD-9604?
AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide that copies a small piece of human growth hormone, the tail-end fragment of the molecule (amino acids 176 to 191). It was developed to try to isolate the fat-metabolism effects associated with growth hormone without the effects on blood sugar or tissue growth. It was investigated as a potential anti-obesity drug and taken into human trials, but it did not produce significant weight loss compared with placebo in those trials, and it was not brought to market as a medicine. It has also been studied in the context of cartilage and joint repair. It is not approved by the FDA for any use.
