Research Comparison
AOD-9604 vs Lipo-C (MIC + B Vitamins)
A side-by-side research comparison of AOD-9604 and Lipo-C (MIC + B Vitamins) drawn from Cobalt Peptides' peptide database records.
AOD-9604
AOD-9604 is a modified 17-amino acid fragment derived from the C-terminal region of human growth hormone (hGH 176–191), with the addition of an N-terminal tyrosine residue. It was specifically engineered to isolate the lipolytic and anti-lipogenic properties of growth hormone while avoiding its anabolic and endocrine effects. Unlike full-length hGH, AOD-9604 does not bind to the growth hormone receptor, does not elevate IGF-1 levels, and does not impair glucose metabolism. This selective mechanism has made it a focus of research in obesity, fat metabolism, and cartilage repair, offering a more targeted metabolic profile without the systemic hormonal effects associated with growth hormone.
Lipo-C (MIC + B Vitamins)
Lipo-C is a lipotropic injection composed of Methionine, Inositol, Choline (MIC), and B vitamins, designed to support fat metabolism, liver function, and methylation pathways. These components act as lipotropic agents and methyl donors, facilitating lipid transport and preventing hepatic fat accumulation. While individual ingredients have well-established biochemical roles, clinical evidence supporting the combined formulation specifically for weight loss is limited. Lipo-C is therefore best understood as a supportive metabolic and liver-focused intervention rather than a primary fat-loss agent.
