AOD-9604 & CJC-1295 & Ipamorelin vs HGH Fragment 176-191
A detailed comparison to help you understand the differences and choose the right peptide for your research goals.
AOD-9604 & CJC-1295 & Ipamorelin
A targeted fat loss stack combining AOD-9604 (the fat-burning fragment of HGH) with CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin for comprehensive body recomposition. This blend addresses fat loss directly while supporting lean mass through GH optimization.
Full details →HGH Fragment 176-191
HGH Fragment 176-191 is the fat-reducing portion of the growth hormone molecule. Unlike AOD-9604 (which has an additional tyrosine), this is the exact fragment of HGH responsible for lipolytic effects.

| Aspect | AOD-9604 & CJC-1295 & Ipamorelin | HGH Fragment 176-191 |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | AOD-9604 stimulates lipolysis and inhibits lipogenesis without affecting IGF-1 or blood glucose. CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin provide sustained and pulsatile GH release to support metabolism and lean tissue. The combination targets fat loss through multiple mechanisms while preserving muscle. | Mimics the lipolytic region of growth hormone, stimulating fat breakdown and inhibiting lipogenesis without affecting blood sugar or promoting growth. Works independently of GH receptors. |
| Typical Dosage | Typical protocol: AOD-9604 200-400mcg, CJC-1295 100-200mcg, Ipamorelin 100-200mcg daily. Usually administered in the morning fasted or before exercise. | Typical dosing: 250-500mcg daily, often split into 2-3 doses. Usually administered on empty stomach, often with fasted cardio. |
| Administration | Subcutaneous injection. Best administered fasted to maximize fat-burning effects. Can be taken as a pre-mixed blend or separate injections. Cycles typically run 8-16 weeks. | Subcutaneous injection. Best results when used fasted and combined with exercise. Avoid eating for 30 minutes post-injection. |
| Side Effects | Mild injection site reactions, headache, nausea. Generally well-tolerated as AOD-9604 lacks many HGH side effects. | Generally well-tolerated. May cause injection site irritation, temporary lethargy, or headache. Does not affect blood glucose significantly. |
