Dosing Guide — 2026-11-11
AOD-9604 is a modified growth-hormone fragment studied specifically for fat metabolism — without the IGF-1 or blood-sugar effects of full GH secretagogues. It's dosed daily and works best fasted. This guide covers reconstitution (including the anti-clump tip), dosing in syringe units, and timing. The numbers match our AOD-9604 protocol page.
Researcher special: code SAVE25 or PLATINUM25 unlocks 25% off AOD-9604 5mg and bacteriostatic water. Every vial ships with a batch-matched COA at 99%+ HPLC purity.
Standard reconstitution: add exactly 2 mL bacteriostatic water to the 5 mg vial.
| Metric | Value |
| Peptide | 5 mg |
| Bac water | 2 mL |
| Concentration | 2.5 mg/mL |
| Per 10 units | 250 mcg |
| Per 12 units | 300 mcg |
Anti-clump tip: AOD-9604 can gel or clump in plain bac water. If it won't fully dissolve, use the two-stage method — first add 0.2–0.3 mL (20–30 units) of 0.6% acetic acid down the vial wall to dissolve the powder, let it sit 2–3 min and swirl, then top up with bac water to the full 2 mL. Final concentration is unchanged (still 2.5 mg/mL).
| Protocol | Dose | Units |
| Standard | 250–300 mcg once daily | 10–12 units |
| Split (aggressive fat-loss) | 300 mcg AM + 300 mcg pre-workout | 12 + 12 units |
Take AOD-9604 subcutaneously into abdominal fat, fasted — first thing in the morning and/or pre-workout. Food and insulin blunt its lipolytic (fat-burning) effect, so keep it well away from meals.
