AOD-9604 worth the money?

[NotWhoYouThink]

My personal experience with this is that it doesn't work like people claim.
I ran it for 12 weeks, had no results except a loss of money spent.
But, I've also seen others claim it worked great for them.
I doubt I'll ever try it again

"but the evidence is pretty clear"

Not sure if you're just reading this somewhere or you've actually reviewed the evidence yourself, but if it's the latter and you're interested, include the studies on hgh frag.

I'm not here trying to convince anyone to use this compound.

The lead researcher who ran the 5 of the 6 clinical trials under the employ of Metabolic Pharmaceuticals (the company developing AOD-9604) has explicitly stated that in the link I provided. He's literally the single most qualified person on the planet to speak to the efficacy.

MP spent more than 50 million on AOD between development and the trials. Exploration for use as a fat loss tool was not discontinued for safety reasons (It was found to be very safe in the trials Safety and Tolerability of the Hexadecapeptide AOD9604 in Humans | Stier | Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism ) - it was discontinued because it didn't work.

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/vprr/0702/07021963.pdf includes the limited details MP actually published as part of the appendix from their final Phase 2B trial, OPTIONS. As the lead researcher mentions in the previously linked article, the negative results largely were not published and now he wishes they were simply because he thinks having this debate at all is silly.

Why would the person who lead the majority of the research trials and the company that spent 8 figures developing the drug lie about it being ineffective? They had significant incentive to do the opposite, especially considering just how good the safety profile looked.

It seems perfectly safe to use so the only thing people are losing out on is money that could be spent elsewhere, so I don't really care if you or anyone else uses it. But you should know that there's just no scientific evidence that it does anything for you.

I've got some on the way for my wife to try. Might give it a shot myself.

Already an HGH user, so probably not a big game changer, but interested to see any impacts

AOD worked particularly for some obese females that had issues losing weight with diet and exercise, otherwise AOD weight-loss compared the same with weight loss due to diet and exercise. Means AOD isn't commercially viable compared to going to the gym and doing WW meals for 24 weeks.
So no, AOD even though it works in some people, isn't worth its weight in dollars, compared to GLP-1s. Add the extra hassle of solubility and gelling, and it's not worth the stress IMO. FYI I used it for over 6months.. but will attribute my visceral fat loss to tesamorelin instead.

Tesa/ipa stack worked way better for me. I still have aod kits wasting away in the freezer

Ive got tesa/ipa and soon the AOD.

You see any harm in running all 3?

I probably wouldn't but it's been a while since I researched it. I cycled tesa/ipa 12 weeks and hopped on aod after.

A lot of both. Again this is just me and I'm not recommending it, but I like the results.

Worked up to 10 IU GH so that's always running in the background. Eventually I'll back down to 5 or 6, maybe after summer.

0.5-1 mg/d AOD. At 1 mg it seems like you don't need to be so mindful about diet. Leanness just happens. I don't know why it's not more popular. Maybe the price is intimidating. Stop buying coffee from Starbucks bada bing bada boom.

Would you split up the 1mg per day?

Im doing every morning 40min of fasted cardio. So the question is:
-take 1mg in the morning with the fasted cardio because well im doing cardio
-or split it up in two dosages?

Im also going to do 3x daily CJC no dac+GHRP-2 so it doesnt matter what option is more comfortable

I don't know. The main reason for once daily seems to be convenience but that's not a factor for you.

I pin it in the morning & evening with GH.
