What it is

AOD-9604 is a growth-hormone fragment studied for lipid metabolism and body-fat research.

Evidence boundary

Investigational / limited human evidence.

Trial evidence

PMID 24124033 — AOD-9604 does not influence the WADA hGH isoform immunoassay.
PMID 25208511 — Detection and in vitro metabolism of AOD9604.
PMID 25382550 — Detecting peptidic drugs, drug candidates and analogs in sports doping: current status and future directions.
PMID 11713213 — The effects of human GH and its lipolytic fragment (AOD9604) on lipid metabolism following chronic treatment in obese mice and beta(3)-AR knock-out mice.

Preparation and measurement

Reconstitution: 10 mg vial + 2 mL BAC = 5 mg/mL.

Concentration matches.

Reference schedule

Reference schedule
Phase	Dose	Draw / measure	Frequency	Weekly total
Weeks 1–4 (titration)	300 mcg	6 U (0.06 mL)	Once daily	2.1 mg/week
Weeks 5–12 (target)	500 mcg	10 U (0.1 mL)	Once daily	3.5 mg/week

Weeks 1–4 (titration)

Dose: 300 mcg
Draw / measure: 6 U (0.06 mL)
Frequency: Once daily
Weekly total: 2.1 mg/week

Weeks 5–12 (target)

Dose: 500 mcg
Draw / measure: 10 U (0.1 mL)
Frequency: Once daily
Weekly total: 3.5 mg/week

Weekly totals apply only during the active phase.

Titration rules

Light (250 mcg/day): Conservative starting dose for tolerability assessment.
Standard (500 mcg/day): Common research dose. Morning fasted dosing is common.
Higher (1000 mcg/day): Used in some Phase 2 trials. May produce a stronger lipolytic effect.
Timing: Pre-fasted morning injection followed by 30–60 min of light cardio amplifies the lipolytic window. Some protocols use an additional pre-workout dose.

Practical rules

Keep the schedule tied to the collected notes, not a broad claim.
Use calorie control and training if body-fat loss is the goal.
Rotate sites.
