Step 1
Reconstitution
Peptide amount in the vial and how much bacteriostatic water you add.
Step 2
Your dose
This guide uses microgram-scale research doses — quick picks are in mcg (100 mcg = 0.1 mg).

Research cycle phases
Units and volumes recompute from your Step 1 concentration (2 mL BAC → 2.50 mg/mL · 25.0 mcg/unit). Doses below are once daily during the course — not weekly.
Standard course
Nonhuman primate work explored ~0.25–0.75 mg/kg SC daily for ~28 days. Fixed educational tables often discuss ~0.5–2 mg/day absolute — strong renal cautions apply.
| Phase | Daily dose | Units | Volume |
|---|---|---|---|
| Days 1–7 (conservative) | 500 mcg0.5 mg | 20 u | 0.20 mL |
| Days 8–28 (standard educational) | 1 mg1,000 mcg | 40 u | 0.40 mL1 mg daily — not a safety endorsement |
Alternate / higher courses
Shorter or higher daily courses discussed in research communities — not a clinical recommendation

Adipotide 5 mg vials
5 vials
~24.5 mg mg total peptide over this 28-day course at 500 mcg → 1 mg per injection (phase ladder). Each vial holds 5 mg.
Bacteriostatic water
4 × 3 mL or 1 × 10 mL
2 mL BAC per vial × 5 vials = 10.0 mL total. Buy as 4× 3 mL bottles or 1× 10 mL bottle (whichever you stock).
U-100 insulin syringes (100-unit)
28+ syringes
About one 100-unit syringe per injection for this schedule. Keep a few spares.
Alcohol swabs & sharps
~66 swabs · 1 sharps container
Wipe vial stopper and injection site each time. Dispose needles in a proper sharps container.
Reconstitution steps
- Allow the lyophilized 5 mg Adipotide vial and bacteriostatic water to reach room temperature.
- Draw 2.0 mL bacteriostatic water (default for this guide).
- Inject BAC slowly down the inner wall of the vial — avoid blasting the powder cake.
- Gently swirl or roll until the solution is clear. Do not shake hard (foaming).
- Label with recon date and concentration (e.g. "2.5 mg/mL — 2 mL BAC").
- Refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35–46 °F), protected from light. Prefer using a reconstituted multi-dose vial within ~28 days with sterile technique.
Storage
Lyophilized
Keep dry powder cold and dark when possible (−20 °C / −4 °F preferred for long-term research stock).
Reconstituted
Refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35–46 °F). Avoid freeze–thaw of the working solution. Prefer finishing within ~28 days.
- ·Write recon date and BAC volume on the label.
- ·Protect from light during storage.
- ·Discard if cloudy, particulates, or odd odor appear after reconstitution.
Protocol notes
- ·Adipotide (FTPP) is experimental.
- ·Animal data linked higher doses to creatinine changes.
- ·Research use only. Not medical advice.
Research context & considerations
Adipotide was designed to target white adipose vasculature. Not an approved weight-loss medicine.
- ·Renal laboratory abnormalities in animals are a central safety discussion.
- ·Not FDA-approved for fat loss.
- ·Anyone with kidney disease should not experiment with research adipotide.
- ·Pregnancy and pediatric use out of scope.
