AOD-9604 Peptide – User Manual & Dosage Protocol Guide
Product Overview
AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide fragment of human growth hormone (hGH) designed to mimic the fat-reducing effects of growth hormone without affecting blood sugar or growth pathways.
Research Applications:
- Supporting fat metabolism and weight management research
- Investigating lipolysis and adipose tissue regulation
- Studying metabolic and energy homeostasis effects
- Potential use in anti-obesity and body composition studies
Disclaimer: AOD-9604 is for research and experimental use only. It is not FDA-approved for therapeutic purposes. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before use.
Forms Available
Product FormLyophilized Powder – Freeze-dried AOD-9604 for reconstitution
Injection Solution – Subcutaneous (SC) or intramuscular (IM) solution after reconstitution
Oral Spray / Capsules – Experimental; bioavailability may vary
Mechanism of Action
AOD-9604 functions by:
- Stimulating lipolysis (fat breakdown) and inhibiting lipogenesis (fat formation)
- Mimicking growth hormone’s fat-reducing effects without influencing blood sugar
- Supporting metabolic regulation and energy balance
Effects are primarily observed in preclinical and experimental studies.
Dosage Protocol (Investigational)
Administration
Subcutaneous (SC) Injection – Typical Dose: 300–500 µg | Frequency: 1–3× per day | Notes: Targeted fat metabolism and body composition studies
Intramuscular (IM) Injection – Typical Dose: 300–500 µg | Frequency: 1–3× per day | Notes: Localized or systemic administration
Oral Spray / Capsules – Typical Dose: 500 µg–1 mg | Frequency: Daily | Notes: Bioavailability may be reduced; effects slower
Cycle Protocol (Investigational)
Initial Phase (2 weeks) – Dose: Lower end of dose range | Notes: Assess tolerance and metabolic response
Therapeutic Phase (4–8 weeks) – Dose: Full dose range | Notes: Maximum fat-reducing and metabolic effect
Rest Period (2–4 weeks) – Dose: None | Notes: Allows system to reset before next cycle
Experimental cycles may be repeated 2–3 times per year, depending on research objectives.
Reconstitution Instructions (Lyophilized Powder)
Supplies Needed:
- Sterile bacteriostatic water
- Sterile syringe
- Alcohol swabs
Steps:
- Clean vial top with alcohol swab.
- Add desired volume of bacteriostatic water (e.g., 5 mg peptide + 1 mL water → 5 mg/mL solution).
- Swirl gently to dissolve; do not shake.
- Store refrigerated (2–8°C).
- Use within 2–4 weeks; discard if cloudy or discolored.
Administration Guidelines
Subcutaneous Injection (SC)
- Select a clean injection site (abdomen, thigh, or upper arm).
- Clean with alcohol swab.
- Insert needle at 45° angle.
- Inject slowly; apply gentle pressure afterward.
- Rotate injection sites daily or every other day.
Intramuscular Injection (IM)
- Select clean muscle site (deltoid, glute, thigh).
- Clean with alcohol swab.
- Insert needle at 90° angle; inject slowly.
- Apply gentle pressure afterward.
Oral Administration
- Take on an empty stomach for better absorption.
- Daily consistent dosing recommended.
Storage Guidelines
