How does AOD 9604 work (mechanism of action) While full mechanistic clarity is still under investigation, here are the main proposed/examined pathways: It stimulates lipolysis (the breakdown of stored triglycerides into glycerol + free fatty acids) in fat cells (adipocytes)
However, certain medications can affect its efficacy
The Food and Nutrition Board, the National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council recommend that lactating women should consume 4 mcg of vitamin B12 daily (11)
AOD-9604 is not a drug, supplement, or food product, and is not for human consumption, veterinary use, or medical applications
The mechanism appears to be interference with erythropoiesis
Within 48 hours after injection of 100 or 1000 mcg of vitamin B12, 50 to 98% of the injected dose may appear in the urine
