AOD9604

A modified fragment of the C-terminus of human growth hormone, related to HGH Fragment 176-191, studied as a metabolic/lipolytic research compound. Studied for stimulating lipolysis and inhibiting lipogenesis without significant effect on blood sugar or IGF-1, based largely on preclinical data.

Fat-metabolism research, primarily in animal and early-stage studies.

Lyophilized. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water per the general reference below.

General reconstitution & storage reference for lyophilized peptides:

1. 1Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol) rather than plain sterile water — the preservative meaningfully extends usable shelf life.
2. 2In bacteriostatic water, refrigerate at 2–8°C, typically usable for ~28–30 days. In plain sterile water (no preservative): 7–14 days.
3. 3Lyophilized (unmixed) vials are stable at refrigerated or, for some peptides, frozen temperatures for extended periods prior to reconstitution.
4. 4Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, direct light/UV exposure, and heat — these are the primary drivers of peptide degradation.
5. 5Reconstitute gently: inject the water down the inside wall of the vial and swirl — don't shake, which can denature the peptide structure.

General peptide handling precautions apply; human efficacy evidence remains limited.
