TL;DR
AOD-9604 is a synthetic 16-amino-acid fragment of human growth hormone (the lipolytic fragment 176–191). Reconstitute with BAC water, draw with a U-100 insulin syringe, and dose subcutaneously. Total prep time: ~5 minutes.
What you'll need (materials)
- Vial of AOD-9604 2 mg from Noki Labs
- Bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol)
- Insulin syringes — 31G, 0.5 mL (U-100)
- Alcohol swabs (70% isopropyl)
- Sharps container
Total time required
Reconstitution: ~5 minutes. Each daily injection: ~1–2 minutes.
Step-by-step protocol
- Step 1 — Bring vial to room temperature. Let it sit out for 5–10 minutes after the fridge.
- Step 2 — Sanitise both stoppers. Wipe with alcohol swabs.
- Step 3 — Choose a BAC water ratio. A common choice is 1 mL BAC water per 2 mg vial — 200 mcg per 0.1 mL on a U-100 syringe. Other customers use 2 mL for finer dosing.
- Step 4 — Draw BAC water. Pull the volume; tap out bubbles.
- Step 5 — Add BAC water against the vial wall. Tilt 45° and let it run slowly down the inside.
- Step 6 — Swirl gently. Roll the vial in your palm until the solution clears — never shake.
- Step 7 — Draw your dose. Re-sanitise the stopper, invert, draw the calculated volume, tap out bubbles.
- Step 8 — Inject subcutaneously and log. Pinch an abdominal site, inject at 90°, dispose, and log.
Typical reference dosing range
Published reference dosing ranges sit between 250 mcg and 500 mcg per day, often once daily on an empty stomach (commonly morning, fasted). Some protocols split into 2x300 mcg doses. Always consult a licensed Philippine medical professional. See the AOD-9604 Philippines pillar for context.
Storage after reconstitution
Refrigerate at 2–8 °C, upright. Use within 28 days. Never freeze reconstituted peptide. See our cold-chain peptide handling guide.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Eating before injection — most protocols use a fasted morning window.
- Shaking the vial — swirl only.
- Reusing syringes — always one needle per injection.
- Skipping the dose log — critical for tracking outcomes.
FAQ
Q: Does AOD-9604 raise IGF-1? Trial data suggests no significant IGF-1 elevation in study populations — it isolates the lipolytic action of GH. Discuss specifics with your clinician.
Q: Best injection time? Most protocols dose in the morning fasted to align with natural GH pulses.
Q: Can I stack AOD-9604 with GLP-1 RAs? Some users combine for synergistic fat-loss study; combination protocols should always be clinician-approved.
Q: How long are reference cycles? Common cycles in literature run 8–12 weeks before re-evaluation.
