Description
AOD-9604 5mg from Evolve Peptides is 5mg of AOD-9604 in a sealed glass vial. AOD-9604 is a modified hGH fragment. It’s intended for lab research only.
What is AOD-9604?
AOD-9604 is a modified fragment of human growth hormone (residues 177-191 with an added tyrosine). It was developed at Monash University to study fat metabolism without GH’s effects on growth or IGF-1.
Metabolic Pharmaceuticals took it into trials.
How AOD-9604 acts in the lab
Growth hormone has a region near its C-terminal end, residues 177 to 191, that seems to account for its effect on fat breakdown. AOD-9604 is that fragment with a tyrosine added at the front.
In animal studies it increased lipolysis and reduced lipogenesis in fat cells. It doesn’t bind the growth hormone receptor the way full GH does, and it didn’t raise IGF-1 in trials, which is what made it interesting as a tool for separating GH’s fat effects from its growth effects.

Published AOD-9604 studies
Heffernan and colleagues reported in 2001 that it reduced body fat in obese mice.
Phase 2b trials didn’t show significant weight loss compared with placebo.

AOD-9604 5mg reconstitution and concentration
Concentration is just the amount in the vial divided by the water you add. With 5mg in this vial:
- 1ml of bacteriostatic water gives 5mg/ml
- 2ml of bacteriostatic water gives 2.5mg/ml
- 3ml of bacteriostatic water gives 1.67mg/ml
Choose the volume that suits your measurements. Mark the vial with the concentration and date so nobody has to guess later.
Most labs use bacteriostatic water. Let the vial reach room temperature, run the water slowly down the inside of the glass, then roll it gently until the powder dissolves. Don’t shake it. Shaking can shear peptide chains.
Storage and shelf life
Unopened, keep AOD-9604 5mg in a fridge at 2 to 8°C, or in a freezer at -20°C if it’ll be a while before you use it. Keep it out of direct light. Once mixed, keep it refrigerated and use it within about 28 days, which is how long bacteriostatic water stays good after opening.
