AOD-9604 exists because researchers asked a specific question: can you separate growth hormone’s effect on fat metabolism from its effects on tissue growth and blood sugar? AOD-9604 is the fragment that resulted. At Body Works it is compounded and used under provider supervision, with a clear account of where the human evidence currently stands.
AOD-9604 is a modified fragment of human growth hormone, corresponding to the region at the tail end of the molecule. That region was identified as carrying the fat-metabolizing activity of growth hormone.
Because it is only a fragment, it does not carry the full range of growth hormone activity. The intent behind its design was to influence fat metabolism without driving tissue growth or affecting insulin sensitivity the way full growth hormone can.
AOD-9604 has been through human clinical study, which distinguishes it from many peptides in this category. Those trials examined its effect on body weight and fat mass in adults with obesity.
The results were mixed. Some early work reported favorable effects on fat metabolism, while larger later trials did not produce the weight loss outcomes needed for approval as an obesity drug. Body Works presents this history accurately rather than citing only the encouraging early findings.
AOD-9604 is not FDA-approved. It was investigated as an obesity treatment and did not achieve approval. It is prepared by compounding pharmacies and used under provider supervision at Body Works.
Given the mixed trial history, your provider will be direct with you about realistic expectations and where AOD-9604 might reasonably fit within a broader metabolic plan.

AOD-9604 is only a fragment of the growth hormone molecule, specifically the region associated with fat metabolism. It does not carry the full range of growth hormone activity, which was the entire point of its design.
AOD-9604 is given by subcutaneous injection. Your provider sets the protocol based on your goals and history and demonstrates the technique at your consultation.
