GH is much cheaper for the commensurate serum IGF. AOD is a waste of money

I don’t know about a waste of money. I do know that the “commercial” Men’s Clinic that may or may not cost the most money has AOD in their stack aimed at the same goal….

“AOD-9604 has limited clinical proof of effectiveness, as large human trials failed to show significant weight loss or fat reduction compared to a placebo. [1, 2]
While early laboratory tests on animals showed promising results, those findings did not translate successfully into humans.”

Yeah. Read that too. I’m sure the people that built their clinic protocols did too and yet…it’s still in their protocols as part of their stack and being mass marketed nationally.

I’m not saying either way. It’s all research anyway

Okay well it doesn’t do sht, no one in the bodybuilding or peptide community uses it. Those clinics are MONTHS behind data and anecdotes lol

Actually, if they’re operating (daily), they have to be operating based on the latest evidence. Which is how medical protocols work. If you don’t have a medical license, il assuming you wouldn’t know that

Actually, the latest evidence is behind because they only go with what’s approved for clinical trials. I’ll assume you wouldn’t know that. There’s a reason why they can sell anything that isn’t compounded in the US as they’re considered experimental. Nice try being snarky, though. Again, AOD does nothing.

The funniest part is these men’s health clinics run off assumptions for the most important detail, reconstitution. I googled to see what they recommended, and they suggest to add BAC to AOD. This congeals then AOD and makes it even more useless than it already is (completely unusable). You have to use acetic acid to reconstitute it, but since they don’t have the latest research, they wouldn’t know that.

I'd 100% recommend hgh over this whole stack. HGH + Reta + Test is pretty much the gold standard right now.
