Overview

HGH Fragment 176-191 is a stabilized piece of human growth hormone (amino acids 176-191) and the parent compound of AOD-9604. Research focuses on fat breakdown without the growth-promoting or blood sugar effects of full growth hormone. It stimulates lipolysis and fat oxidation through a GH-receptor-independent mechanism, targeting adipose tissue without affecting IGF-1, glucose metabolism, or growth.

Primary Uses
Stimulates lipolysis and fat oxidation
Promotes fat oxidation and release of free fatty acids from adipocytes
Targets stubborn visceral and abdominal fat stores
Mimics the lipolytic region of human growth hormone

Lipolysis enhancement
Lipogenesis inhibition
