Common questions

How do I reconstitute AOD-9604?

Add your chosen volume of bacteriostatic water to the lyophilized vial, directing the stream gently against the glass wall, and swirl slowly (do not shake) until the powder is fully dissolved. The calculator above converts your vial size and water volume into the exact draw volume and units for your target dose. Store the reconstituted peptide refrigerated and use within the period recommended by your supplier.

What is the AOD-9604 dosage?

AOD-9604 has no FDA-approved dosing guideline and no established clinical dose for general use. Community research protocols often reference subcutaneous doses of roughly 250 to 500 mcg daily, but these figures come from informal sources rather than approved prescribing information and are not a recommendation. This calculator performs math on the values you enter; it does not recommend any dose. Consult a licensed clinician before using any research peptide.

How many units is 300 mcg of AOD-9604?

It depends on your reconstitution concentration. With a 5 mg vial in 2 mL of bacteriostatic water (2500 mcg/mL), a 300 mcg dose is 0.12 mL, which equals 12 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. Enter your own vial size and water volume in the calculator above for your exact number.

Is AOD-9604 FDA-approved?

No. AOD-9604 is not approved by the FDA as a drug. It was studied as a potential obesity treatment but its pivotal trial did not show clinically meaningful weight loss, and that development program was discontinued. It remains a research peptide with limited human data and should not be used outside of a supervised research or clinical context.
