AOD-9604 is a synthetic modified fragment corresponding to the C-terminal region (residues 176–191) of human growth hormone, with an added N-terminal tyrosine. It is studied in metabolic research as a tool for investigating lipolytic (fat-metabolism) pathways that are associated with this region of the growth-hormone molecule, reportedly without the effects on blood glucose or IGF-1 associated with full-length growth hormone in preclinical models. **What AOD-9604 Is Studied For** **Lipolysis** — Studied for fat-metabolism and lipid-breakdown pathways in preclinical adipocyte models. **Energy metabolism** — Investigated for effects on energy-substrate handling without IGF-1 elevation in research models. **Metabolic signalling** — Researched for the lipolytic activity attributed to the hGH(176–191) region. **Cartilage/joint research** — Studied in some preclinical cartilage and connective-tissue research contexts. ⚠ For in-vitro laboratory research use only.

AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminal fragment of human growth hormone (residues 176–191) with an added N-terminal tyrosine. In preclinical research it is studied as a tool for the lipolytic (fat-metabolism) pathways attributed to this region of the growth-hormone molecule. Research reports describe it as stimulating lipid breakdown in adipocyte models reportedly without the glucose or IGF-1 effects associated with full-length growth hormone. Supplied at ≥99% HPLC purity for in-vitro research use only. ### How does AOD-9604 differ from full growth-hormone peptides in research? AOD-9604 represents only the C-terminal lipolytic fragment of human growth hormone, not the full molecule, and is not a growth-hormone secretagogue. This contrasts with compounds such as Ipamorelin, CJC-1295 or Tesamorelin, which are studied for stimulating the growth-hormone axis and downstream IGF-1. AOD-9604 is studied specifically for the fat-metabolism pathways linked to the hGH(176–191) region in isolation. They are distinct research tools and are not interchangeable. Not for human consumption — for research use only. ### Can I buy AOD-9604 at Chemist Warehouse or a pharmacy in Australia? No. AOD-9604 is a research compound and is not a registered pharmaceutical product in Australia — it is not stocked at retail pharmacies such as Chemist Warehouse and has not been approved for human use by the TGA. Peptide Warehouse Australia supplies AOD-9604 exclusively as a lyophilised powder for in-vitro laboratory research purposes. Not for human consumption — for research use only. ### How do I reconstitute and store AOD-9604 5mg? Reconstitution: Add 1–2mL of bacteriostatic water slowly down the inside wall of the vial with a 31G syringe and swirl gently until dissolved; do not shake. A 5mg vial reconstituted with 1mL BAC water yields a 5mg/mL solution. Storage: Lyophilised — store at −20°C for up to 24 months. Reconstituted — refrigerate at 2–8°C and use within 4 weeks, protected from light. BAC water is available at /products/bac-water-10ml. Not for human consumption — for research use only. ### Is AOD-9604 legal to buy in Australia and what testing is included? Legal status: AOD-9604 is legal to purchase in Australia for legitimate laboratory research purposes. It is not for human consumption, therapeutic, cosmetic, or veterinary use and is not TGA-approved in this form. Purchasers must be 18+ and confirm research-only intent. Quality: each batch is independently verified by third-party HPLC at ≥99% purity with a full COA including HPLC purity %, mass spectrometry identity confirmation, and sterility screening. Full COAs are available in our COA Library. ### Where can I buy AOD-9604 in Australia and how does it ship? Peptide Warehouse Australia stocks AOD-9604 5mg and ships nationwide via Australia Post with full tracking. Orders placed before 12PM AEST dispatch the same business day from our Melbourne warehouse; orders after 12PM AEST dispatch the next business day. Standard Post $8.99 (2–6 business days); Express Post $13.99 (1–3 business days); free shipping on all orders over $199 AUD. All orders ship in discreet plain packaging with no external branding. Not for human consumption — for research use only. ### Why does AOD-9604 reportedly not raise IGF-1 in research? AOD-9604 represents only the C-terminal fragment (residues 176-191) of human growth hormone associated with lipolytic activity, not the full molecule, so research reports describe lipid-metabolism effects in models without the IGF-1 elevation linked to full-length growth hormone. Not for human consumption — for research use only. ### What cartilage or connective-tissue research involves AOD-9604? Beyond lipid metabolism, AOD-9604 has appeared in some preclinical cartilage and connective-tissue research contexts. These are exploratory research directions; AOD-9604 is supplied strictly as a research compound and is not TGA-approved for human use. Not for human consumption — for research use only. ## Compliance Sold strictly for in-vitro laboratory and research purposes only. Not for human consumption, therapeutic use, or veterinary use. Purchasers must be 18 years of age or older. See https://www.auspeptidewarehouse.com.au/legal for full terms.
