Every prescription we offer is dispensed through licensed United States pharmacies. No research-chemical sites, no gray market, ever.
Compounded medications are prepared by licensed U.S. compounding pharmacies, regulated under state boards of pharmacy and federal law (Section 503A of the FD&C Act).
Nothing is dispensed without a prescription from our medical team, written after your consultation and health review.
Compounded prescriptions are patient-specific: prepared for you, labeled with your name, and dosed to your provider's directions.
Your provider reviews your response and adjusts your plan over time. You are never buying a vial on your own; you are in a supervised medical program.
Start online or in person. It only takes a minute, and the consultation can be done from home.
They review your health history and your goals, and talk through whether a peptide is a good fit for you.
If a peptide is appropriate, your provider writes the prescription. If it is not the right choice for you, they will tell you that too.
We prepare your prescription so it is ready for your visit. Your card is charged when the prescription is processed.

Fat metabolism and fat breakdown
Joint and cartilage support
Metabolic support without full growth-hormone effects
AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide that copies the tail-end fragment (amino acids 176 to 191) of human growth hormone. It was developed to isolate the fat-metabolism activity associated with growth hormone without the effects on blood sugar or tissue growth, and it has also been studied for cartilage and joint support. Research into AOD-9604 is ongoing, and at Cienega it is available by prescription only, after an individual evaluation by our medical team.

AOD-9604 was designed to isolate the fat-metabolism fragment of growth hormone, and it has been studied for both fat metabolism and cartilage and joint support. Research is ongoing and individual responses vary, which is exactly why we pair it with a provider evaluation instead of selling it off a shelf. Your provider will walk you through what the research shows for your specific goal.
