What is AOD-9604? Research and Australian supply

Peptides Collective supplies 5mg of AOD-9604 per vial, from A$58. ^[3] The identifiers distinguish the compound from the full growth hormone molecule on which its structure is modelled. ^[1]

AOD-9604 sits in our metabolic research peptides collection. ^[3] The batch certificate provides the HPLC purity and mass spectrometry identity results for the material you order. ^[2] Request the certificate for the relevant batch to check its measured results. ^[2]

The selected AOD-9604 PMID records examine animal models of metabolism and osteoarthritis, alongside a review titled “AOD-9604 Metabolic”. ^[4][5][6][7] The evidence spans obese Zucker rats, obese mice, beta(3)-AR knock-out mice and a rabbit osteoarthritis model. ^[4][5][6]

ABC's 2013 report quotes Professor Gary Wittert describing his involvement in human AOD-9604 studies. ^[10] An investigator interview establishes that human research was reported, but it does not supply the original trial methods or a complete results dataset. ^[10]

Peptides Collective's independent batch testing addresses the identity and purity of supplied material. ^[2] Those checks provide product documentation; the selected animal and review evidence remains model-specific. ^{[2][4][5][6][7]}

The PubMed search checked on 29 September 2026 identified no original human study reporting AOD-9604 adverse events. ^[4][7] The available evidence includes a rat insulin-sensitivity observation, while ABC separately reports symptoms described by a human-study investigator. ^[4][10]

In obese Zucker rats, the authors of PMID 11146367 reported no adverse effect on insulin sensitivity, measured using euglycaemic clamp techniques. ^[4] The finding covers one metabolic endpoint in that animal model only. ^[4]

In its report published on 26 July 2013, ABC attributes headache, chest tightness, palpitations and euphoric feelings to some adults with obesity in short-term AOD-9604 studies. ^[10] Professor Wittert described these as considered compound-related. ^[10] The report gives no event counts or rates, and it is not the original trial publication. ^[10]

The rabbit osteoarthritis abstract in PMID 26275694 supplies no safety data in the evidence reviewed. ^[6] None of these records supports a blanket safety conclusion for AOD-9604. ^[4][6][10] Independent HPLC and mass spectrometry testing of a Peptides Collective batch documents purity and identity, without answering the separate biological adverse-event question. ^[2]

AOD-9604 is listed in Schedule 4 of the Poisons Standard (prescription only) and is also listed in Appendix D clause 5, which makes possession without authority an offence. ^[8] These entries are from the June 2026 instrument, F2026L00633, checked against the compound record on 29 September 2026. ^[8]

WADA's sporting classification and Australian scheduling are separate records. ^[8][9] Laboratory labelling, reconstitution or cold storage does not remove the compound's scheduling. ^[8][11][12] Our guide to peptide law in Australia explains the scheduling framework.

For laboratory reconstitution of AOD-9604, check the batch certificate and mass basis, choose a compatible sterile solvent, then label the solution with its concentration and preparation details. ^[11] These steps follow Peptides Collective's general handling guidance; no AOD-9604-specific stability study is available in the evidence reviewed. ^[11][12]

Reconstitution dissolves lyophilised peptide material in solvent. ^[11] Concentration in mg/mL equals peptide mass in milligrams divided by solvent volume in millilitres; the calculation depends on whether the mass figure represents peptide content or gross powder. ^[11] HPLC purity and net peptide content are distinct measurements, so a purity percentage alone does not settle that mass basis. ^[11]

Use the laboratory peptide reconstitution guide for the full handling sequence. It describes warming the sealed vial before opening, adding solvent slowly down the glass wall, swirling gently and recording compound, batch, solvent, concentration and date. ^[11] No AOD-9604-specific solvent compatibility test is available in the evidence reviewed. ^[11][12]

The peptide storage guide recommends keeping sealed lyophilised material dry and dark at -20°C or colder for long-term storage, and keeping reconstituted solutions at 2 to 8°C. ^[12] Its working rule keeps BAC Water solutions refrigerated, with frozen aliquots reserved for material dissolved in plain sterile water or buffer. ^[12] That solvent distinction draws partly on protein research; no AOD-9604-specific freeze-thaw study was found. ^[12]

No compound-specific refrigerated shelf life is established by the handling evidence reviewed. ^[11][12] Apply the storage guidance as general laboratory practice, without treating it as measured stability for a Peptides Collective batch. ^[12]

Every Peptides Collective AOD-9604 batch is tested by an independent third-party analytical laboratory before sale: purity by HPLC and identity by mass spectrometry. ^[2] The certificate for a batch is available on request. ^[2]

To request it, send the compound name, strength and batch number. ^[2] For AOD-9604, identify the 5mg vial and the batch you want checked. ^[2][3] Use the certificate of analysis page for certificate information and the independent testing page for the testing process. Read the report for the relevant batch before relying on a numerical purity or identity result. ^[2]

Dispatch is from Perth, Western Australia, twice daily Monday to Friday and once on Saturday. ^[2] Orders ship once payment clears, with PayID or bank transfer available. ^[2] We pack every order with thermal insulation and plain outer packaging. ^[2]

WA courier delivery on the Australia Post network costs A$15 and is free on WA orders over A$150. ^[2] Outside WA, delivery costs A$24 flat, is tracked and requires a signature. ^[2] Check the Australian shipping information for the delivery terms relevant to your address. Twice-daily weekday dispatch describes when stock leaves Perth; it does not promise an arrival date. ^[2]

Choose Peptides Collective AOD-9604 5mg for independently batch-tested material, a certificate on request and tracked dispatch from Perth. ^[2][3] HPLC checks purity and mass spectrometry checks identity before sale, while twice-daily weekday dispatch provides regular opportunities for an order to leave once payment clears. ^[2] AOD-9604's Schedule 4 and Appendix D clause 5 status remains part of the procurement decision. ^[8]
