Research cycle phases
Units and volumes recompute from your Step 1 concentration (2 mL BAC → 5.00 mg/mL · 50.0 mcg/unit). Doses below are once daily during the course — not weekly.
Standard course
Research-community tables often cite ~250–500 mcg once daily for multi-week courses; some discussions go toward ~1 mg/day.
| Phase | Daily dose | Units | Volume |
|---|---|---|---|
| Days 1–7 (intro) | 250 mcg0.25 mg | 5 u | 0.05 mL250 mcg daily |
| Days 8–28 (standard) | 500 mcg0.5 mg | 10 u | 0.10 mL500 mcg daily |
Alternate / higher courses
Shorter or higher daily courses discussed in research communities — not a clinical recommendation

~12.25 mg mg total peptide over this 28-day course at 250 mcg → 500 mcg per injection (phase ladder). Each vial holds 10 mg.
Bacteriostatic water
2 × 3 mL or 1 × 10 mL
2 mL BAC per vial × 2 vials = 4.0 mL total. Buy as 2× 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
~60 swabs · 1 sharps container
Wipe vial stopper and injection site each time. Dispose needles in a proper sharps container.
Reconstitution steps
- Allow the lyophilized 10 mg AOD-9604 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. "5.0 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
- ·AOD-9604 is a modified fragment related to the C-terminal region of HGH.
- ·Calculator doses are milligrams; 0.25 mg = 250 mcg.
- ·Research use only.
Research context & considerations
AOD-9604 (Tyr-hGH fragment 177–191 analogue class) has been discussed in obesity/metabolic research contexts.
- ·Injection-site reactions are the most common practical issue.
- ·Not FDA-approved for weight loss via research-vial channels.
- ·Pregnancy and breastfeeding are outside research-hobby scope.
