In this video, I break down ATX-304 (also known as OS-01 or OS-03) — a powerful small molecule AMPK activator being studied for fat loss, metabolic health, and longevity. If you’ve heard ATX-304 described as “exercise in a capsule,” you’ll see why after going through the research, mechanisms, human trials, and potential applications.


I also share how ATX-304 works differently than GLP-1s, why it preserves muscle while supporting fat loss, and what the future may hold for this compound in anti-aging medicine.
