AOD-9604 vs AOD-9604 & CJC-1295 & Ipamorelin
A detailed comparison to help you understand the differences and choose the right peptide for your research goals.
AOD-9604
AOD-9604 is a modified fragment of human growth hormone (HGH fragment 176-191). It was developed to have the fat-reducing effects of growth hormone without the adverse effects on blood sugar or growth.

| Aspect | AOD-9604 | AOD-9604 & CJC-1295 & Ipamorelin |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Stimulates lipolysis (fat breakdown) and inhibits lipogenesis (fat accumulation) without affecting blood sugar or growth. Works specifically on adipose tissue through a mechanism independent of GH receptors. | 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. |
| Typical Dosage | Research dosing typically ranges from 250-500mcg daily, often split into morning and afternoon doses. Some protocols use higher doses up to 1mg. | Typical protocol: AOD-9604 200-400mcg, CJC-1295 100-200mcg, Ipamorelin 100-200mcg daily. Usually administered in the morning fasted or before exercise. |
| Administration | Subcutaneous injection, typically in the abdominal area. Best administered on an empty stomach. Can be combined with exercise for enhanced effects. | 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. |
| Side Effects | Generally well-tolerated. May cause headaches, injection site reactions, or temporary lethargy. Does not affect blood glucose like full GH. | Mild injection site reactions, headache, nausea. Generally well-tolerated as AOD-9604 lacks many HGH side effects. |
