Understand this compound
What is AOD-9604?
Limited human dataA modified HGH fragment studied in fat-metabolism and, more recently, cartilage/recovery research.
Weight & metabolicRecovery & healing
⚠
Good to know: The largest human trial did not show significant weight loss versus placebo and development was halted; efficacy claims in the research/supplement market outpace the clinical evidence.
How does AOD-9604 work?
A synthetic 16-amino-acid fragment (modified residues ~177-191) of human growth hormone's C-terminus; proposed to trigger lipolysis via beta-3 adrenergic/cAMP signaling without activating the GH receptor or raising IGF-1.
Mechanism of action from published research — how the molecule behaves, not a claim about any product or any human-use effect.
What is AOD-9604 researched for?
Studied for fat loss/lipolysis in obesity research, aiming to isolate GH's fat-metabolizing action from its growth-promoting effects.
- Weight & metabolicStudied in weight, appetite, blood-sugar, and fat-metabolism research.
- Recovery & healingStudied in tissue-repair research — tendon, ligament, muscle, and wound-healing models.
How far has the research gone?
Limited human data; its largest Phase 2b human trial (2007, ~536 subjects) failed to reach statistical significance for weight loss versus placebo, and development was discontinued.
Where the science stands — an approved drug is not the same as the research-grade material a vendor sells, which is unregulated regardless.
What should I check before buying?
- Independent purity. Look for a third-party COA (Janoshik or MZ) showing a measured purity — not just a number the vendor typed.
- Batch match. The strongest evidence is a certificate for the exact batch you’ll receive, attributed to this vendor — check the cross-verification on the listing.
- Vendor reputation. See how the vendor is talked about in the community before trusting a new name.

US legal statusBanned in drug-tested sport (WADA/USADA)
Research-use-only — not FDA-approved
Sold “for research use only,” this compound is not FDA-approved for human use and has not been evaluated for safety, purity, or sterility in people. It is generally not a scheduled controlled substance, so buying it as a research chemical is typically not itself a drug crime — but marketing or using it as a drug is not lawful, and it is not a dietary supplement.

Real $/active mg divides the price-per-mg by the measured purity — the honest cost of the actual peptide, so a 90%-pure vial isn’t compared as if it were 99%. Too cheap? flags a listing far below the market rate — often underdosing or a fake, not a deal. The crown marks the cheapest non-outlier; best value marks the lowest real cost per active mg.

Independent testing
AOD-9604 — independent lab tests
Real, publicly verifiable third-party tests. Purity is read from the certificate itself. A test reflects one lab’s result for one submitted batch — not a guarantee that every vial matches.
How does this data get here?
Every record below is a real certificate of analysis, gathered two ways: from the public verification feeds that independent labs (like Janoshik) publish, and from the certificates vendors post on their own product pages. We open each certificate document and read the measured purity, content, batch, and date directly off it — a scraper can’t read a number printed inside an image, so this is done by machine vision, then recorded here with a link back to the original.
Nothing here is typed in by a vendor or invented by us. Where a certificate is missing, we say so rather than filling the gap.
We re-check the lab feed, too. A “still listed” tag means the certificate is currently public in Janoshik’s database — we re-verify against the live feed and stamp the date. If a cert is later pulled, the tag flips. It’s a freshness check on the same source, not a second independent opinion.
What a certificate does & doesn’t prove
Three different questions. Purity (“how clean?”), identity (“is it the right molecule?”, a mass-spec test), and content (“did I get the labeled mg?”) are separate. A vial can be 99% pure and still be the wrong peptide, or the right peptide underdosed. We flag the measured dose against the label above; underdosing is the most common real fraud.
Who submitted the sample matters. Most of these are vendor-submitted — the seller chose which vial to send, so one good certificate doesn’t prove every batch is the same. The gold standard is a blind test, where a buyer sends a vial they bought as a normal customer. Same label doesn’t prove same product; same batch number doesn’t prove same batch.
