The Neelakantan 2018 paper showed strong oral absorption in cell uptake (Caco-2) assays, which is why most research community use is by mouth instead of by injection
The rationale behind this stack is that 5-amino-1mq enhances cellular fat metabolism, AOD-9604 promotes lipolysis through growth hormone receptor activation, and the secretagogue compound stimulates natural growth hormone release
In terms of side effects, most users report minimal issues, with occasional mentions of mild digestive discomfort
Of note, the relative abundance of the Parasutterella genus, which was significantly enriched in both the vehicle- and 5A-1MQ-treated animals transitioned from WD to LD compared to both the WD and LD control groups, was observed to be significantly correlated (either positively or negatively) with 30 EWAT metabolites, both with and without outliers included
