    How to Reconstitute AOD-9604

    Pre-filled calculator with standard defaults for AOD-9604: 5 mg vial in 2 ml BAC water.

    Standard AOD-9604 Reconstitution Protocol

    Add 2 ml of bacteriostatic water to a 5 mg vial of AOD-9604. This gives a concentration of 2.50 mg/ml. A standard 300 mcg dose equals about 12.0 IU on a 100-unit insulin syringe. Store refrigerated at 2–8°C and use within 28 days.

    AOD-9604 Reconstitution Chart

    Common syringe draws at the standard AOD-9604 preset (5 mg in 2 mL BAC water = 2.50 mg/mL). Units are on a U-100 insulin syringe (100 units = 1 mL). For laboratory research reference only.

    Syringe units (U-100) Volume Amount (AOD-9604)
    5 units 0.05 mL 125 mcg
    10 units 0.10 mL 250 mcg
    15 units 0.15 mL 375 mcg
    20 units 0.20 mL 500 mcg
    25 units 0.25 mL 625 mcg
    30 units 0.30 mL 750 mcg
    40 units 0.40 mL 1.00 mg
    50 units 0.50 mL 1.25 mg

    Step-by-Step: How to Reconstitute AOD-9604

    1. 1

      Gather your supplies

      A sealed 5 mg vial of AOD-9604, a vial of bacteriostatic water, a 1 ml (100-unit) insulin syringe, and an alcohol swab.

    2. 2

      Inject the water

      Wipe both vial stoppers with alcohol. Draw 2 ml of BAC water into the syringe and inject it slowly down the inside wall of the AOD-9604 vial. Never spray directly onto the powder — the force can damage the peptide.

    3. 3

      Swirl gently

      Gently swirl the vial in a circular motion until the AOD-9604 fully dissolves. Do not shake. The solution should become clear.

    4. 4

      Calculate your dose

      At a concentration of 2.50 mg/ml, a 300 mcg (0.300 mg) dose equals about 12.0 IU on a 100-unit insulin syringe.

    5. 5

      Draw and store

      Draw your dose, perform the injection, and immediately return the vial to the refrigerator at 2–8°C. Use the reconstituted vial within 28 days.

    These defaults reflect the most common community protocols for AOD-9604. Individual research protocols may differ. Always verify against your source and consult a qualified practitioner before any injection. BodyHackGuide publishes for research and educational purposes only.
