AOD-9604 is a small fragment of the growth-hormone molecule engineered specifically to keep only the fat-burning parts of GH's activity — without the growth or IGF-1 side effects. Think of it as "GH's fat-loss piece, isolated."

ProSource Labs supplies AOD-9604 in the following available vial sizes: 5mg. Each AOD-9604 vial contains pure lyophilized peptide — no fillers, no bulking agents. Product SKU references: AOD-5MV.

• Fat-Burning Focus: Engineered to keep only GH's lipolytic activity
• No Growth Effects: Doesn't activate the GH receptor — no IGF-1 side changes
• Small Fragment: Just 16 amino acids of the parent GH molecule
• Cartilage Research: Secondary literature on joint / cartilage repair models

Batches are characterized by ESI mass spectrometry to confirm molecular weight against the theoretical value, with amino-acid sequence confirmation on selected QA lots. Peptide content assay distinguishes net peptide mass from residual counter-ion salt.

Lyophilized AOD-9604 vials should be stored at -20°C (or colder) in a laboratory freezer, inside the sealed factory container. Minimize warm-up cycles — move only the specific vial needed for a given experiment out of frozen storage at a time.

All laboratory handling of AOD-9604 should follow the receiving institution's SOPs and applicable peer-reviewed protocols relevant to the researcher's specific experimental question. ProSource Labs does not publish end-user preparation or usage instructions.

Every batch of AOD-9604 released by ProSource Labs undergoes independent reverse-phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) — the industry-standard analytical method for this class of research compound. Target chromatographic purity is typically ≥ 99%.

Additional characterization may include ESI mass spectrometry for molecular weight confirmation, Karl Fischer titration for residual moisture, and appearance/solubility inspection. A batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) is available on request through customer support after purchase.

Each production lot of AOD-9604 is quarantined pending analytical release, tested against documented purity, identity, and moisture acceptance criteria, and only released to sellable inventory after passing every QA checkpoint. Batches that fail any single criterion are quarantined and never reach customer-facing inventory.

If a vial of AOD-9604 you received from ProSource Labs ever fails your own institution's incoming QA testing, contact customer support at support@prosourcelabs.org — we retain samples of every batch for cross-verification.

Widely used in studies on fat-cell breakdown (lipolysis), adipose tissue metabolism, and — as a secondary area — cartilage repair. Doesn't touch the growth-hormone receptor, so no IGF-1 spikes.

AOD-9604 vials ship in tamper-evident, moisture-resistant, cold-chain-friendly outer packaging from our Southern California distribution facility for fast US domestic delivery — typically 2-4 business days coast-to-coast, with expedited options available at checkout.

Every AOD-9604 shipment is discreet — the outer packaging carries no product-specific branding or direct reference to the compound name inside, protecting researcher privacy. Tracking numbers are emailed automatically. For institutional or high-volume orders, dedicated wholesale pricing is available through the wholesale portal.
