About AOD-9604

What is AOD-9604?

Overview

What is AOD-9604?

AOD-9604 is a modified fragment of human growth hormone corresponding to residues 177 to 191, with an additional tyrosine at the N-terminus to aid stability and analysis. It carries none of the full hormone's receptor-binding regions. It is supplied as a lyophilised powder in sealed vials, boxed in tens, for laboratory research use only.

Laboratory research use onlyNobelPepLab supplies AOD-9604 strictly for in vitro and laboratory research. We do not provide dosing guidance, do not make health claims, and do not supply products for human or veterinary use.

DocumentationBatch-specific third-party COA

These are catalogue target specifications, not batch results. The 99%+ purity figure is the specification we buy to. The authoritative figures for any particular box are the ones printed on that box’s Certificate of Analysis, which is lot-specific. What research grade actually means explains the difference. Terms such as HPLC purity and net peptide content are explained in the peptide glossary.

We make no “third-party verified” claim for a batch unless the matching report is supplied with it. Ask for the current COA for the lot in stock before you order — we will send it.

Prices for every strength

Pricing

AOD-9604 price per vial: 5mg and 10mg

AOD-9604 starts at $10.56 per vial (£7.91), sold in boxes of 10 at $105.57. One box is the smallest order and there is no trade account or minimum spend. Larger volumes are negotiable.

AOD-9604 price by strength. Billed in USD; GBP shown for reference. Each box contains 10 vials.
StrengthPer vialBox of 10
5 mg$10.56 £7.91$105.57 £79.09
10 mg$15.53 £11.64$155.28 £116.34
Storage & reconstitution

Handling

How should AOD-9604 be stored and reconstituted?

Sealed vials tolerate ambient temperature in transit and keep at −20 °C beyond that. Reconstitute slowly down the vial wall, swirl rather than shake, then refrigerate at 2–8 °C and aliquot before freezing.

What it is researched for

Research Context

What is AOD-9604 researched for?

Below is a plain-English summary of what published research has investigated, and what it has found. These are descriptions of research activity and published results. They are not claims about what AOD-9604 does, and nothing here is a statement that it is safe or effective for any purpose.

Research status Not approved as a medicine. Reached Phase 2 clinical trials for obesity and did not meet its endpoints. Has been assessed as safe by the US FDA as a food ingredient.

Separating fat metabolism from growth

The C-terminal region of growth hormone appears to carry its fat-metabolising activity separately from its growth-promoting activity. AOD-9604 was built specifically to test that separation in adipocyte culture and animal models. 12

No growth or IGF-1 effect

Because it lacks the receptor-binding regions of the full hormone, AOD-9604 does not raise IGF-1 or produce growth effects. That is the entire design rationale and the main thing distinguishing it from growth hormone itself. 1

Clinical outcome

A Phase 2 obesity trial did not show a significant weight difference against placebo. That negative result is an important and often omitted part of the compound's record.

Batch COA

Verification

Does AOD-9604 come with a COA?

Yes — every box. Each batch of AOD-9604 is analysed by an independent third-party laboratory, and the certificate is tied to the batch number on the vial label.

Questions & answers

Questions

AOD-9604 questions, answered

How does AOD-9604 differ from HGH Fragment 176-191?

They are closely related. HGH Fragment 176-191 is the unmodified C-terminal fragment of human growth hormone. AOD-9604 is that region with a tyrosine residue added at the N-terminus, which improves stability and gives a distinct molecular weight. Both are stocked separately so they can be compared directly.

How much does AOD-9604 cost?

AOD-9604 starts at $10.56 per vial, sold in boxes of 10 vials at $105.57 per box (about £79.09). 2 strengths available: 5 mg, 10 mg. There is no minimum order.

Can I buy AOD-9604 10mg vials in the UK?

Yes. AOD-9604 10mg comes in boxes of 10 vials at $155.28 per box ($15.53 per vial, about £116.34 per box), sent tracked to UK addresses. There is no minimum order.

How is AOD-9604 shipped to the UK and USA?

Tracked to the UK, USA, EU and worldwide, in plain packaging, dispatched within 1–2 working days. Country-by-country estimates are on the shipping page.
