HGH Fragment 176-191
A profile on the specific amino acid chain of HGH responsible for fat loss, separated from the growth effects.
HGH Fragment 176-191
HGH Fragment 176-191 (Frag) is a stabilized analogue of the hormone-releasing factor "tail" of Human Growth Hormone.
Scientists discovered that the fat-burning effects of HGH are controlled by the last region of the peptide chain (amino acids 176 through 191). By isolating this fragment, you get a peptide that is 12.5 times stronger than HGH for fat loss, but has zero effect on IGF-1, insulin sensitivity, or cell proliferation.
Quick Specs
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Active Compound | HGH Frag 176-191 |
| Half-Life | Very Short (< 30 Mins) |
| Mechanism | Lipolysis Stimulator |
| Administration | Subcutaneous (SubQ) |
Mechanism of Action
It mimics the body's natural lipolysis (fat breaking) pathway. It triggers the release of fatty acids from adipose tissue and inhibits lipogenesis (fat storage).
Unlike AOD-9604 (which is a modified tyrosine version of this fragment), HGH Frag is the raw sequence. It is notoriously fragile.
Pharmacokinetics & Dosing
The Fasting Rule
Insulin renders Frag useless.
- Timing: You must inject on a completely empty stomach.
- Protocol: Inject AM Fasted -> Perform Cardio -> Wait 1-2 hours -> Eat.
- Dosage: 250mcg - 500mcg per day.
- Frequency: 1-2 times daily.
Primary Effects
1. Targeted Fat Loss
Specifically targets adipose tissue energy release.
2. No Water Retention
Unlike whole HGH, Frag does not cause water retention or Carpal Tunnel issues.
3. No Blood Sugar Issues
It does not induce insulin resistance.
Side Effects & Harm Reduction
Fragility:
Handling: This peptide is extremely delicate. Once reconstituted with water, it degrades very quickly (often within days if not stored perfectly). Do not shake the vial. Cloudiness often indicates the peptide has denatured.
1. Injection Site
Can cause redness or stinging.
2. "Bunk" Products
Because the molecule is so fragile, many sources sell degraded (useless) Frag. Results vary wildly between suppliers.
Tracking HGH Frag
Using the Anabolic Tracker app:
- Inventory: Add HGH Frag 176-191.
