Peptide therapy has opened new options for people who want support with body composition. AOD 9604 is one peptide patients often ask about when stubborn fat doesn’t respond to diet and exercise.
What is AOD 9604?
AOD 9604 is a modified fragment of human growth hormone. It was developed to study the part of growth hormone associated with fat metabolism, without the effects growth hormone has on blood sugar or tissue growth.
How it may support weight management
AOD 9604 is studied for its potential to help the body break down stored fat and limit new fat formation. Evidence is still developing, so we consider it a supportive tool rather than a standalone solution.
How it’s given
AOD 9604 is typically a small injection just under the skin. Your provider will explain dosing, timing, and how to administer it at home if appropriate.
Who might consider it
- Adults working toward body composition goals
- Patients already following a nutrition and exercise plan
- People who want a medically supervised peptide option
Important to know
AOD 9604 isn’t FDA-approved for weight loss. We review the evidence, potential risks, and your health history with you before recommending it, and we monitor your progress closely.
