Frequently Asked
How do I reconstitute AOD9604?
Add 1 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 5 mg vial, injecting slowly down the inside wall. Swirl gently; never shake. This yields a concentration of 5000 µg/mL.
What is the recommended dose of AOD9604?
A typical research dose is 300 µg. Consult the ASCEND calculator for your specific vial concentration and draw volume.
How many doses are in a AOD9604 vial?
A 5 mg vial reconstituted with 1 mL BAC water yields approximately 16 doses at 300 µg each.
How many IU is 300 µg of AOD9604 on a syringe?
With a 5 mg vial reconstituted in 1 mL bacteriostatic water, the concentration is 5000 µg/mL. For a 300 µg dose: Volume = 300 µg ÷ 5000 µg/mL = 0.06 mL. Draw to the 6 line on a 100-unit insulin syringe. You can adjust these values in the ASCEND calculator for any vial size.
What does a AOD9604 dosage calculator do?
A AOD9604 dosage calculator converts your vial size and BAC water volume into an exact syringe draw in IU. Enter your vial strength (5 mg), reconstitution volume (1 mL), and target dose to get the precise line to draw on an insulin syringe.
What is the AOD9604 reconstitution calculator formula?
Draw volume (mL) = Dose (µg) divided by Concentration (µg/mL). For a 5 mg vial with 1 mL BAC water: concentration = 5000 µg/mL. For a 300 µg dose, the ASCEND calculator gives the exact IU line on your syringe instantly.
Peptide Intelligence
How does AOD9604 differ from growth hormone?
AOD9604 is a modified fragment of human growth hormone (hGH 176-191) containing the fat-metabolizing region without the growth-promoting or IGF-1-stimulating activity. It activates beta-3 adrenergic receptors and inhibits lipogenesis without affecting blood sugar.
What is the half-life of AOD9604?
AOD9604 has a short half-life of approximately 30 minutes to a few hours after subcutaneous injection. Most protocols use twice-daily administration to maintain activity throughout the day.
Does AOD9604 affect blood glucose or IGF-1?
Unlike intact growth hormone, AOD9604 does not measurably raise blood glucose or stimulate IGF-1 production. Phase 2 clinical trials confirmed it has no significant effect on these parameters, distinguishing it from growth hormone itself.
