Dragon Pharma AOD 9604 5 mg hGH Fragment 176-191 Research Vial

Dragon Pharma AOD 9604 5 mg Fragment Vial

AOD 9604 is the last 16 amino acids of human growth hormone, residues 176 to 191, isolated because that piece of the molecule carries the fat-mobilizing activity without the growth and blood sugar effects attributed to whole growth hormone. In research it did not raise IGF-1, which is precisely why it attracted attention. The clinical program failed, however: development stopped in 2007 after missing its endpoints, so this is a fragment with an interesting mechanism and no approved future.

How AOD 9604 Works

The fragment mimics the lipolytic region of growth hormone, so it is studied as a signal for fat mobilization rather than for tissue growth. The honest part of the record is the trial history: a 12-week randomized study showed about 1.8 kg more weight loss than placebo, and a later 24-week study did not show sufficient lipolytic effect, after which the program was closed. No half-life is established in the sources. Unlike the secretagogues such as CJC-1295 DAC, this peptide is a fragment of the hormone itself rather than a stimulus to release it.

Reconstitution & Research Use

Add bacteriostatic water slowly down the glass wall and swirl, never shake. Five milligrams with 2 ml gives 2.5 mg/ml, so 0.1 ml holds 250 mcg and reads as 10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe; 1 ml instead of 2 doubles that to 500 mcg in the same units. Community material describes 250 to 500 mcg a day subcutaneously, often before fasted cardio, in blocks of four to twelve weeks, and frequently alongside another weight-oriented peptide such as Adipotide or the long-acting Semaglutide. Reported class effects are injection-site reactions and headache, with no frequency data for this fragment.

Quality & Authenticity

Each batch is produced under GMP conditions and checked by HPLC, with a Certificate of Analysis held for the batch. Keep the powder cold and dark and the mixed solution refrigerated.
