Mild effects, not impressed 2026-06-15
Olivia N.

Used AOD-9604 for 2 months. Maybe lost 2-3 lbs but could be diet. Very mild compared to GLP-1 agonists. Good that it doesn't affect blood sugar but the fat loss is underwhelming.

Effectiveness: 2/5 Safety: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Safe but subtle 2026-05-12

AOD-9604 is extremely safe with no side effects. Fat loss is very subtle though - don't expect dramatic results. Good for someone who wants a gentle nudge without stimulant effects.
