A clinician explains how he describes AOD-9604, how his clinic uses it alongside long fasting and a GLP-1 type drug, and how he handles forms, dosing and storage.

- 0:34AOD-9604 as a growth hormone fragmentDr. Jones says AOD-9604 is the fat mobilizing piece of human growth hormone. He also warns against buying it from research companies.
- 2:36Fat mobilizer versus fat burnerHe explains that mobilizing fat is the first step before burning it. He says a calorie deficit is still the stimulus for weight loss.
- 4:08Why muscle mass mattersHe argues that preserving lean mass supports lasting weight loss and insulin sensitivity. He cites a study he says correlates muscle with longevity.
- 6:41FDA scrutiny of peptidesHe says the FDA has listed peptides of concern and that he expects some to disappear.
- 7:42Nasal, injectable and oral formsHe compares nasal sprays, subcutaneous injections and oral lozenges. He says he found nasal sprays and some lozenges ineffective and now prefers lozenges from a trusted compounding pharmacy.
- 9:46How fast it worksHe says speed depends on calorie deficit and training, and that AOD-9604 alone would have no net effect. He describes his clinic's combination program.
- 11:17Long fasting and metabolic flexibilityHe describes weekly 36 to 48 hour fasts and says AOD-9604 helps the body draw on fat stores during them.
- 13:20Timing, tiers and dosesHe gives a morning fasted dose template and several tiers of frequency. He states 250 micrograms by injection and 500 micrograms by lozenge.
- 15:23Storage and travelHe says reconstituted injectable peptide degrades with heat and light and should be refrigerated for about 20 to 30 days. He says lozenges are stable at room temperature.
- 18:58Future of AOD-9604He expects AOD-9604 and growth hormone secreting peptides to be banned. He names another peptide he is considering as a replacement.
What the video says
Dr. Jones, a chiropractor who runs a weight loss program, presents AOD-9604 as a fragment of human growth hormone. He says it is the portion tied to fat loss, and that the name HGH frag refers to the same thing. His main point is a distinction between a fat mobilizer and a fat burner. In his account, AOD-9604 does not speed metabolism or suppress appetite, so it does nothing on its own without a calorie deficit.
He spends a good part of the talk on muscle. He argues that any weight loss program costs some lean mass, that keeping it matters for sustaining weight loss and insulin sensitivity, and he cites a study he says links more muscle mass with lower all-cause mortality. He says mobilizing fat first may shift more of the weight lost toward body fat, based on his own use and his patients, though he acknowledges there are no large studies and says there probably never will be.
Dr. Jones describes his clinic's program as AOD-9604 combined with a GLP-1 type medication, which the captions render as "tepati", plus weekly fasts of 36 to 48 hours. He says patients lose about one percent to one and a half percent of body weight per week. He calls AOD-9604 "artificially induced metabolic flexibility" and says it helps with the tiredness and brain fog he links to long fasts.
On practical matters, he says he prefers oral lozenges that dissolve in the cheek from a compounding pharmacy over daily subcutaneous injections. His template is one dose in the morning while fasted, with 250 micrograms by injection or 500 micrograms by lozenge. He describes lower and higher tiers, and cycles of three to four months with a break. He also covers storage, travel, and sourcing from research companies, which he advises against. He closes by saying he expects the FDA to remove AOD-9604 and says he is looking at another peptide as a replacement. The video also promotes his free community and PDF.
On each compound
AOD-96040:34
Dr. Jones describes it as a fat mobilizing fragment of human growth hormone, not a fat burner or appetite suppressant. He says his clinic pairs it with fasting and a GLP-1 type drug, and that it works only alongside a calorie deficit.

Dr. Jones says his program combines AOD-9604 with a GLP-1 type medication, which the captions render as "tepati". He credits it with reducing hunger, while saying AOD-9604 handles fat mobilization.

What this video doesn’t settle
- The results he cites, such as one percent to one and a half percent weekly weight loss, come from his own clinic with no control group or published data shown.
- He says there are no large studies on AOD-9604 shifting weight loss toward fat, so the central claim rests on his observation.
- Safety, side effects and long-term outcomes of AOD-9604 are not discussed.
Questions this video answers
What is AOD-9604 according to Dr. Jones?
He describes it as a fragment of human growth hormone, isolated from the part he says drives fat loss. He says it is sometimes sold as HGH frag.
Is AOD-9604 a fat burner?
Dr. Jones says no. He calls it a fat mobilizer that makes stored fat more available, while a calorie deficit is what drives weight loss. He says it does not raise metabolism or suppress appetite.
What doses of AOD-9604 does Dr. Jones describe?
He says his template is 250 micrograms by subcutaneous injection or 500 micrograms as an oral lozenge, taken fasted in the morning. He describes cycles of three to four months followed by a couple of weeks off, and presents this as his own approach.
How does Dr. Jones say AOD-9604 should be stored?
He says reconstituted injectable peptide is sensitive to heat and light and should be kept in the fridge, with a best used date of about 20 to 30 days. He says oral lozenges are stable at room temperature, though he suggests refrigerating them.
What does Dr. Jones say about the FDA and AOD-9604?
He says the FDA has been scrutinizing peptide therapy and has listed peptides of concern. He expects AOD-9604 and some growth hormone secreting peptides to become unavailable.
