AOD-9604 — reference

Modified HGH fragment studied for fat metabolism.

Regulatory statusNot FDA-Approved

Published half-lifeShort — minutes (fragment of hGH lacking the diabetogenic region)

Evidence levelLimited data

CategoryMetabolic

Regulatory status

Not FDA-Approved. Not FDA-approved; failed to show significant efficacy in some trials.

Reported cautions

⚠ Worth knowing. Human obesity trials did not show significant weight loss versus placebo, which is the most relevant evidence available and sits awkwardly with how it is marketed. Does not raise IGF-1. Banned by WADA.

Pharmacokinetics

Published figures give an elimination half-life of Short — minutes (fragment of hGH lacking the diabetogenic region). —

This figure is tagged Limited data in our evidence system. The available data does not support a confident single figure, so this entry is flagged accordingly. Read any curve built from it as illustrative only. You can see the shape this implies between doses in the Half-Life Visualizer, and compare it against every other compound in the Half-Life Data Table. Our sourcing page explains what each tier means.

Remember that an estimated curve is a model built from a population figure, not a measurement of your blood. Individual clearance varies, and for depot injections the figure describes release from the injection site rather than the compound clearing. Half-life explained →

What Peptide Plug does and does not publish

This page carries regulatory status, general context and published pharmacokinetics. It carries no dose, frequency or cycle information — that is a deliberate editorial line, because dosing is a clinical decision rather than reference data. We also do not sell, supply, source or link to vendors for any compound.
