How do I verify the quality of AOD-9604 from a vendor?

To verify AOD-9604 quality, look for an independent certificate of analysis (COA) from a third-party lab — not a lab the vendor owns or pays directly. The COA should state the tested compound, lot number, purity percentage (identity and concentration), and the lab's name. Cross-reference the lot number against the vendor's current stock. Merit Verified indexes COAs for AOD-9604 at https://meritverified.org/peptides/aod-9604 so you can compare evidence across vendors before buying.

What is the regulatory status of AOD-9604?

AOD-9604 is tracked in the Merit Verified registry. Regulatory status for research peptides in the US has been evolving — the FDA has reclassified a number of peptides out of the 503A compounding ingredient list since 2025. Merit Verified does not provide legal or regulatory advice; check official FDA sources or consult a licensed professional for the current status of AOD-9604 in your jurisdiction.

GLP-1 / Metabolic

AOD-9604

Also known as: Anti-Obesity Drug 9604

AOD-9604 is a 16-amino-acid synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminal fragment of human growth hormone (residues 177-191) with an additional N-terminal tyrosine. Developed by Metabolic Pharmaceuticals (Australia) to isolate a purported 'lipolytic' activity of GH without GH-receptor-mediated growth or diabetogenic effects. AOD-9604 is NOT FDA-approved for any indication; controlled human trials for obesity did not demonstrate clinically meaningful weight loss, and obesity development was terminated in 2007.
