AOD-9604
AOD-9604 is a focused 15-amino-acid fragment of human growth hormone engineered to power fat-breakdown pathways without triggering full GH or IGF-1 signals. In lab models, it lights up cellular “burn” switches—boosting lipolysis, ramping up β-oxidation markers, and helping researchers map energy-balance circuits. Every batch ships with ≥99% HPLC-verified purity, endotoxin <0.1 EU/mg, and a Certificate of Analysis for your protocols.

What is AOD-9604
AOD-9604 is a lab-designed fragment of human growth hormone that zeroes in on fat-burning biology. Stripped of any IGF-1 triggers, it lets scientists study how cells break down stored lipids and channel energy, all in tightly controlled adipocyte and metabolic assays.

Why Choose AOD-9604?
Researchers pick AOD-9604 for its razor-sharp focus on lipolysis and energy shifts—no off-target growth effects, just metabolic action. Its robust, dose-dependent responses and simple handling make it a go-to for obesity, diabetes, and energy-balance protocols. Every vial meets ISO standards and comes COA-backed for guaranteed consistency.

What Sets AOD-9604 Apart
What sets Retatrutide apart from traditional single-pathway compounds like semaglutide is its ability to address multiple metabolic pathways at Unlike full-length GH or other fragments, AOD-9604 cleanly separates fat-metabolism signals from growth-factor noise. Its compact 15-amino-acid design ensures rapid uptake, clear dose-response data, and rock-solid stability in both powder and solution—making it indispensable for high-precision metabolic research., making it highly attractive for advanced obesity, diabetes, and longevity studies.
