Does AOD-9604 work for weight loss?

Its own dedicated human obesity trial did not beat placebo, despite AOD-9604 being marketed for years as a fat loss peptide. It is a modified fragment of growth hormone that promotes fat metabolism in animal studies, and it has GRAS notifications as a food ingredient in some jurisdictions, but that regulatory status is not the same as proven weight loss efficacy in people, which its own trial did not demonstrate.
