If a claim implies systemic benefits, treat it as a higher-uncertainty category and prioritise evidence quality over confidence

Where People Buy Peptides: Online "research chemical" suppliers No prescription needed Sold as vials of powder You reconstitute with sterile water Quality unknown Purity unknown 12-58% of supplements are contaminated with unlisted substances Compounding pharmacies (illegally) Some still compound banned peptides Higher quality control (theoretically) Requires prescription Legal risk for pharmacy and doctor Anti-aging/wellness clinics Cash-pay practices May source from gray market Charge $500-2,000+ per month Often stack multiple peptides Black market / gym dealers Sold alongside anabolic steroids Zero quality control Highest contamination risk The Quality Control Problem FDA warnings: Compounded peptides may have impurities Manufacturing varies widely No standardization Cross-contamination possible Real risk: You're injecting a substance of unknown purity, made in facilities with unknown quality control, based on research that doesn't exist, for conditions that haven't been studied

AOD 9604, also known as Advanced Obesity Drug 9604, is a synthetic peptide fragment derived from the C-terminus of human growth hormone (HGH)
Because it is not an aqueous solution, the bacteriostatic-water storage windows used for injectable peptides do not apply
But it has a more stable metabolic byproduct that can serve as a marker for it and which is reportedly detectable for 48 to 72 hours
