HGH fragment 176-191 is the end piece of human growth hormone, different from AOD-9604, which adds one amino acid. It is not approved and is banned in sport, and few published studies mention it. PepBank shows no results on HGH fragment 176-191 from studies in people, animals, the lab or computer predictions. Data as of 2026-10-30.
