AOD-9604 (5mg) Dosage Protocol
AOD-9604 is a modified fragment of human growth hormone (amino acids 176-191) with a tyrosine addition. Research has focused on its lipolytic properties without affecting IGF-1 or insulin.
Add 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water → 2.5 mg/mL (2500 mcg/mL)
250-500 mcg daily, typically morning on empty stomach
At 2.5 mg/mL: 10 units = 250 mcg, 20 units = 500 mcg
Lyophilized: -20°C; Reconstituted: 2-8°C for up to 4 weeks
| Week | Daily Dose | Units (per injection) |
|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1-4 | 250 mcg daily | 10 units (0.1 mL) |
| Weeks 5-8 | 300 mcg daily | 12 units (0.12 mL) |
| Weeks 9-12 | 400-500 mcg daily | 16-20 units |
- 1Draw 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water with a sterile syringe
- 2Inject slowly down the vial wall to prevent foaming
- 3Gently swirl until fully dissolved - do not shake
- 4Label with date and concentration, refrigerate immediately
AOD-9604 is the C-terminal fragment of hGH (176-191) with lipolytic properties. A 12-week clinical trial showed 1mg daily resulted in 2.6 kg weight loss vs 0.8 kg placebo. Unlike full hGH, it does not affect IGF-1 levels or cause insulin resistance.
- Targets fat metabolism specifically
- Does not affect IGF-1 or insulin levels
- Clinical trial showed modest weight loss
- May preserve lean body mass
