AOD-9604 calculator

AOD-9604 is an analogue of a fragment from the C-terminal end of human growth hormone, and it has no established human dose: no trial of it is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov and no human trial result is indexed in PubMed, although company development summaries mention obesity trials. Most vendors sell a 5 mg vial, some 2 or 10 mg. The tables below show concentration and micrograms per syringe mark only.

AOD-9604 reconstitution chart

Concentration and micrograms per mark on a U-100 insulin syringe, by vial size and water added. The peptide amount never changes; only how concentrated it is.

Why there is no dose table

No human dose of AOD-9604 is established by a published trial, so this page shows concentrations only. The dosage section of the AOD-9604 profile lists what the literature does and does not report, with sources.

Common questions

How much bacteriostatic water do you add to a 5 mg AOD-9604 vial?

There is no single correct volume: the amount of peptide is fixed and the water only sets the concentration. For 5 mg, 1 mL gives 5 mg/mL (50 mcg per unit), 2 mL gives 2.5 mg/mL (25 mcg per unit) and 3 mL gives 1.67 mg/mL (16.7 mcg per unit). More water makes each syringe mark hold less, which makes small amounts easier to measure accurately.

What dose does the AOD-9604 calculator use?

None. No human dose of AOD-9604 is established, so the calculator does not suggest one. It converts a vial size, a water volume and an amount you enter into a volume and syringe units; the tables on this page show concentrations only.

What does one unit on an insulin syringe mean?

A unit is a volume mark, not an amount of drug. On a U-100 syringe 100 units fill 1 mL, so 10 units is always 0.1 mL; how much peptide those 10 units hold depends only on the concentration you mixed. U-40 syringes use 40 marks per mL, so the same volume reads as a different number of units.
