Unlike HGH, AOD-9604 does not affect insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels, meaning it does not have the same potential side effects as HGH, such as promoting cell growth or affecting blood sugar levels
The latter is the first macrocyclic intermediate common to heme, chlorophyll, siroheme and B 12 itself
In fact, studies suggest that when B12 levels drop below a certain threshold, around 253 pg/ml, it can cause changes on an ECG that point to a higher risk for arrhythmias, even in otherwise healthy people
Your doctor may: Monitor serum B12 levels Evaluate homocysteine and methylmalonic acid (MMA) Check complete blood count (CBC) Assess for symptom improvement (fatigue, cognitive clarity, neuropathy) Symptoms like improved energy, mood, and focus typically appear within days to weeks
