Evidence snapshot: The strongest human evidence comes from a 2-year randomized controlled trial in 65 healthy older adults (Nass et al., 2008, Annals of Internal Medicine) showing sustained GH/IGF-1 increases and preserved fat-free mass, plus an earlier short-term human polysomnography study on sleep (Copinschi et al., 1997, Neuroendocrinology, PMID 9349662)
This vitamin is important for the growth and proliferation of cells, blood cell formation, protein formation, and nervous system maintenance
Unlike hGH, which carries broader systemic effects and risks associated with elevated IGF-1 levels, AOD9604 appears to selectively promote fat metabolism without triggering growth-related side effects, suggesting its potential as a safer therapeutic candidate for obesity and metabolic disorders [2]
