Ideal for AOD-9604 may fit you if: - You want fat-loss support without raising your growth hormone or IGF-1 - You prefer a gentler, non-hormonal approach and are comfortable with modest effects - Blood sugar and insulin sensitivity are concerns you want to leave undisturbed - You are interested in stacking with a metabolic peptide like MOTS-c for a cellular reset - You do not want to affect appetite or muscle mass Consider alternatives if Tesamorelin may fit you if: - Deep abdominal (visceral) fat is your main target - FDA approval and large clinical-trial evidence matter to you - You want the most clinically validated fat-loss peptide available - You are comfortable raising your own GH and IGF-1 as part of the approach - Liver fat or triglycerides are part of the picture your provider is watching The decision is not really AOD-9604 versus Tesamorelin as better or worse
