Patient reviews
On Trustpilot
AOD-9604 is a modified amino acid fragment of hGH. Unlike full growth hormone, it specifically targets fat breakdown without affecting blood sugar or growth.
It stimulates the pituitary gland to speed up fat metabolism and inhibits lipogenesis (fat production). It does this without the broad effects of full HGH.
Those looking for targeted fat loss support without the systemic effects of growth hormone peptides. Works well as part of a comprehensive weight management protocol.
Generally well-tolerated. Avoid during pregnancy.

The label shows strength per mL, not the total in the vial.
What that means
Dosing Protocol
25 units subcutaneous injection daily, Monday to Friday. 25 units = 0.25mL × 1.2mg/mL = 0.3mg per injection. 8 to 12 weeks on, 2 to 4 weeks off.
Beyond Use Date
60 Days from compounding (USP <797>)
A licensed U.S. 503A compounding pharmacy assigns this date and prints it on your vial label. Always follow the label.

From our medical director's protocol for AOD-9604. Where the evidence is thin, it says so.
The protocol uses 0.3 mg five days per week.
This schedule provides a simple weekday treatment cycle and matches the vial quantity used for the protocol.
The Monday-through-Friday schedule comes from current clinical practice rather than a clinical trial establishing five-day dosing.
AOD-9604 has undergone human clinical research, including studies evaluating safety and weight-related outcomes.
Human obesity studies produced mixed results. A smaller study reported greater weight loss with AOD-9604 than placebo, while a larger study involving roughly 500 participants did not show a meaningful advantage over placebo.
Preclinical studies in obese animals reported effects on fat metabolism and body weight.
No published human study has established subcutaneous AOD-9604 as an effective weight-loss treatment. The injectable protocol therefore represents an extrapolation from earlier AOD-9604 research rather than a clinically established weight-loss regimen.
Each order also carries the $39 prescriber review. Pharmacy prices are the pharmacy's own; we add nothing to them.

Growth hormone fragment fat-loss protocol
A growth hormone fragment built to burn fat without raising IGF-1. The rodent data is real, but the pivotal 534-subject obesity trial did not beat placebo and development stopped in 2007. Honest about the gap.
The gold standard GLP-1 for weight management, paired with B12 for energy support.

All 5 AOD-9604 samples tested for sterility and endotoxin passed both. Latest sample received by the lab Oct 1, 2026.
Every AOD-9604 batch dispensed by a licensed U.S. 503A compounding pharmacy is independently tested by Eagle Analytical Services (FDA-registered, A2LA ISO 17025 accredited). Sterility testing checks that nothing grows in the sample; the USP <85> endotoxin test checks for bacterial toxins that can cause fever. Below is the lab's own report for each of the 5 most recent lots.
Eagle Analytical Services is an independent FDA-registered laboratory, A2LA accredited to ISO 17025, based in Houston, Texas. They have no commercial relationship with Rx Peps Direct. Rx Peps Direct prescribes; the pharmacy compounds and dispenses; Eagle tests every batch. Three separate companies. Results apply only to the tested sample as received.

AOD-9604 is available by prescription after an online medical review and dispensed for human use by a licensed 503A pharmacy. That is what separates it from research-use-only vials sold without a prescription. There is no membership, just a medical review fee per order, and automatic refills are optional.
Complete a $39 medical review. Answer a short intake about your health history and your goals for AOD-9604. The $39 fee is the only charge Rx Peps Direct collects, paid once, not a recurring subscription.
A licensed provider reviews it. A US-licensed clinician reviews your intake and, if AOD-9604 is appropriate for you, writes a patient-specific prescription. The starting dose is typically 25 units (0.3mg).
The pharmacy compounds and ships it. A licensed 503A compounding pharmacy in Texas compounds AOD-9604 and ships it pre-reconstituted by FedEx overnight in a reusable cooled case. Your fill is a 5mL injectable vial at 1.2mg/mL (6mg total), labeled "AOD 9604 1.2 MG/ML (5 ML)", and you pay the pharmacy $80 per vial at wholesale, with no clinic markup, plus a $15 flat FedEx overnight shipping fee charged by the pharmacy.
Rx Peps Direct prescribes AOD-9604 in the 28 states plus Washington, DC where its medical team is licensed. Start your $39 medical review or browse all peptides for weight loss.
