AOD-9604 vs MOTS-c
Two peptides people compare often—different categories, different label contexts. Read each profile before mixing routines or protocols.
AOD-9604
Fat metabolism
A fragment of human growth hormone studied for fat loss without IGF-1 effects.
AOD-9604 is the C-terminal fragment of hGH (amino acids 176–191). Trials explored fat reduction without growth effects; results were modest. WADA-prohibited. Sold as a research peptide for body recomposition—evidence…
MOTS-c
Metabolic fitness
A mitochondrial-derived peptide studied for exercise mimetic and metabolic effects.
MOTS-c is encoded in mitochondrial DNA and regulates glucose and fatty acid metabolism. Mouse studies show improved exercise capacity and insulin sensitivity. Human trials are emerging; longevity clinics have begun offer…
