AOD-9604

THE FAT MOBILIZER

hGH Fragment 176-191

AOD-9604 is a small fragment of human growth hormone that was isolated specifically for its fat-burning properties. Unlike full HGH, it doesn't affect blood sugar or cause tissue growth. It just targets fat cells. It works by flipping the switch from "store fat" to "burn fat" and has also shown promise for cartilage and bone repair.
