Dosing Reference

AOD 9604

Reconstitution volumes and example dosing schedules below. Review the Prep & Injection Guide before proceeding. Values are reference points for research workflows — verify against your own source documentation.

AOD-9604: RECONSTITUTION, DOSING, & OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

Dose 1-2 times per day, daily

First dose should be in the morning while fasted, and second should be while fasted (at least 1.5 hours following and preceding a meal)

If at all possible, remain fasted 3-4 hours following injection

Subcutaneous Administration

We advise purchasing Acetic Acid solution from one of the links included below in order to combat gelling if it occurs. AOD-9604 has a tendency to be a fairly unstable peptide (high-maintenance in peptide form, if you will).

Stacking Suggestions

AOD-9604 stacks well with several peptides, especially for regenerative or fat-loss goals. Common combinations include:

  • GLP-1s
  • BPC-157
  • TB-500
  • Ipamorelin
  • Sermorelin
  • CJC No DAC

AOD-9604 is a fragment of the human growth hormone developed for the treatment of obesity. It is designed to mimic the fat-burning properties of hGH without its muscle-building effects or the common side effects.

This is achieved through Tyrosine (TYR), a portion of the amino acid sequence responsible for fat reduction and tissue repair. It mimics the effects of hGH on lipid metabolism without promoting growth or triggering pro-diabetic effects.

Where GLP-1 agonists suppress appetite and influence insulin secretion, AOD-9604 inhibits lipoprotein lipase activity in fat tissue, stimulating lipolysis in adipocytes. It specifically targets areas of the body with high fat deposits, preventing the conversion of carbohydrates into triglycerides and fatty acids and blocking the process of lipogenesis.

AOD-9604 can be particularly useful when stacked with GLP-1s to combat plateaus and target stubborn fat that diet and exercise alone may not eliminate.

Benefits

  • Increases metabolism
  • Stimulates lipolysis
  • Inhibits lipogenesis (formation of fat cells)
  • Promotes bone and cartilage repair
  • Improves bone strength
  • Does not impact blood sugar levels
  • Enhances collagen production and skin elasticity
  • Possesses anti-inflammatory properties (beneficial for arthritis)
  • Enhances joint flexibility and mobility
  • Prevents medication-related muscle-wasting

Possible Side Effects

  • Injection site reactions (redness, swelling, itching)
  • Headache
  • Fatigue
  • Dizziness
  • Cough
  • Chest tightness or constriction
  • Heart palpitations
  • Cold-like symptoms

Interactions

  • Beta-adrenergic and fat-metabolism agents (e.g. clenbuterol, ephedrine, synephrine, stimulants): may produce palpitations and jitteriness

Contraindications

  • Do not use AOD-9604 if you are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Do not take with an active malignancy
  • Because it is metabolized via proteolytic degradation and renal clearance, do not take AOD-9604 if you have severe liver or kidney disease
  • Discontinue use if you determine you are hypersensitive or allergic
