Adipotide vs AOD-9604

Both are fat-loss peptide compounds. Here's how they line up on the evidence — graded the same way.

AdipotideAOD-9604
Evidence 3/10 7/10
ClassFat-loss peptideFat-loss peptide
SummaryA pro-apoptotic peptidomimetic that kills the blood vessels feeding white fat. It produced striking fat loss in obese mice and monkeys, but never cleared safety into meaningful human testing — the lone human trial enrolled four patients and reported no results.A growth-hormone fragment marketed for fat loss. The human trials were small and short, the pivotal obesity study failed, and development was abandoned. Unapproved as a drug everywhere.

Adipotide

Adipotide (FTPP) has one of the most dramatic ideas behind it of any experimental weight-loss compound. Most diet drugs work on your appetite. This one doesn't. Instead, it's built to cut off the blood supply that feeds white fat. The animal results — in both mice and monkeys — are genuinely…
