AOD-9604 at a glance

AOD-9604 takes the tail end of human growth hormone, the region spanning residues 176 to 191, and carries a tyrosine at the start of the chain to improve stability. It was developed by researchers in Australia who wanted to keep the portion of GH associated with fat metabolism while leaving out the regions that drive tissue growth and raise IGF-1. The result is a short peptide, also sold as hGH Fragment 176-191, supplied here as freeze-dried powder.

Lab testing

There is no public lab report for this listing yet. We can ask the brand for the batch COA before you order. Many buyers also split an independent HPLC test with others who bought the same batch.

Bought through escrow: the brand is only paid after you confirm delivery. If the parcel never arrives, or an independent test shows the wrong compound or a significant under-fill, open a claim before releasing payment.

What it is studied for

Studies in fat cells and in rodents suggest the fragment stimulates lipolysis, the breakdown of stored triglycerides, and suppresses lipogenesis, the formation of new fat, in ways that resemble full-length growth hormone. What distinguishes it in that research is the absence of the receptor activity responsible for raising IGF-1 or affecting blood glucose. Involvement of beta-3 adrenergic receptors has been proposed in some animal work, though the exact pathway has not been fully established. Separately, investigators have looked at possible effects on cartilage in joint-injury models.

Research and regulatory status

Most data come from rodent and cell-culture studies. Human trials were run for obesity during clinical development, and the published results did not show enough effect for the program to continue toward approval. AOD-9604 is not an approved medicine anywhere, and the World Anti-Doping Agency treats it as a prohibited substance. Joint and cartilage research is early and small in scale, so the overall evidence base remains thin.

Checking the lab data

For AOD-9604, a good report gives a mass spectrometry result consistent with the expected sequence, including the N-terminal tyrosine. The chain contains a pair of cysteines that normally form a disulfide bond, so the measured mass should correspond to the expected oxidized form rather than the open chain. Look for HPLC purity with a chromatogram, measured content per vial and a white, intact freeze-dried cake, plus the lab name and batch number.

Storage and preparation

Freeze-dried peptide keeps best sealed, cold and dark. Once it has been dissolved, refrigerate it, avoid repeated warming and follow the stability limits in your study protocol.

Concentration arithmetic: one 10 mg vial dissolved in 2 mL gives 5 mg/mL, or 10 mg/mL in 1 mL. The Research Lab calculator in your dashboard handles any other volume.

Buyer questions

Is AOD-9604 the same as HGH Fragment 176-191?

The names overlap and are often used interchangeably on the market. AOD-9604 is the specific modified fragment taken through clinical research, with a tyrosine at its N-terminus. Because vendors label these products inconsistently, the sequence and measured mass on the lab report are a better guide than the product title.

Why is AOD-9604 studied in joint research?

Some animal studies have examined the fragment in models of cartilage injury and osteoarthritis, sometimes combined with other agents such as hyaluronic acid. This work is early and limited in scale. It sits alongside, rather than replaces, the larger body of fat-metabolism research the compound is known for.

How much AOD-9604 is in this listing?

10 vials of 10mg each — 100 mg in all. Where a lab report exists, the testing panel above shows what the brand's tested sample actually measured.

When does TFC Peptides get paid?

Only after you confirm delivery. Until then the payment is held in escrow, and you can open a claim if anything is wrong with the order.
