AOD-9604 Dosage Calculator: Reconstitution and Units

To calculate AOD-9604 dosage, divide your target dose (mg) by the vial concentration. For a 5 mg vial with 2 mL BAC water: concentration is 2.5 mg/mL. A 250 mcg (0.25 mg) dose equals 0.1 mL (10 U-100 units). A 500 mcg (0.5 mg) dose equals 0.2 mL (20 U-100 units).

How to Calculate AOD-9604 Dosage

Three steps convert any vial and BAC water combination into the exact volume to draw on a U-100 insulin syringe.

  1. Step 1 — Calculate concentration (mg/mL)

    Divide the total peptide in the vial (mg) by the volume of BAC water you added (mL). For example: a 5 mg AOD-9604 vial reconstituted with 2 mL BAC water gives 5 ÷ 2 = 2.5 mg/mL.

  2. Step 2 — Calculate draw volume (mL)

    Divide your target dose (mg) by the concentration (mg/mL). For a 0.5 mg dose at 2.5 mg/mL: 0.5 ÷ 2.5 = 0.2 mL. This is the exact volume to draw into the syringe.

  3. Step 3 — Convert to U-100 syringe units

    Multiply the draw volume (mL) by 100. For 0.2 mL: 0.2 × 100 = 20 U-100 units. Read this number on the unit markings of a standard insulin syringe.

Dosage Formula

Concentration formula

Concentration (mg/mL) = Vial mg ÷ BAC water mL

Draw volume formula

Draw volume (mL) = Dose (mg) ÷ Concentration (mg/mL)

U-100 syringe units

U-100 units = Draw volume (mL) × 100

These three formulas apply to any AOD-9604 vial, regardless of size. U-100 is the standard insulin-syringe scale: 100 units = 1 mL.

250 mcg (0.25 mg) dose from 5 mg / 2 mL vial

  1. Vial: 5 mg  |  BAC water: 2 mL  |  Target dose: 0.25 mg
  2. Concentration: 5 ÷ 2 = 2.5 mg/mL
  3. Draw volume: 0.25 ÷ 2.5 = 0.1 mL
  4. U-100 units: 0.1 × 100 = 10 units

500 mcg (0.5 mg) dose from 5 mg / 2 mL vial

  1. Vial: 5 mg  |  BAC water: 2 mL  |  Target dose: 0.5 mg
  2. Concentration: 5 ÷ 2 = 2.5 mg/mL
  3. Draw volume: 0.5 ÷ 2.5 = 0.2 mL
  4. U-100 units: 0.2 × 100 = 20 units

AOD-9604 Reconstitution Guide

AOD-9604 is the C-terminal fragment (177–191) of human growth hormone, supplied as a lyophilised powder typically in 2 mg or 5 mg vials. Doses are usually expressed in mcg — divide by 1000 to convert to mg before using the calculator.

  1. Swab both vial stoppers with alcohol swabs and allow to air dry.
  2. Draw 2 mL BAC water for a 5 mg vial (yields 2.5 mg/mL = 2500 mcg/mL).
  3. Inject BAC water slowly along the glass wall of the peptide vial.
  4. Gently swirl until dissolved. Do not shake.
  5. Refrigerate at 2–8 °C and use within 4–6 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert AOD-9604 mcg doses to mL?

Divide mcg by 1000 to get mg. Then: draw volume (mL) = dose (mg) ÷ concentration (mg/mL). At 2.5 mg/mL: 250 mcg = 0.25 mg ÷ 2.5 = 0.1 mL = 10 U-100 units.

What is the standard AOD-9604 reconstitution?

A 5 mg vial + 2 mL BAC water = 2.5 mg/mL (2500 mcg/mL). At this concentration, every 0.1 mL = 250 mcg, making common doses easy to measure.

What are U-100 syringe units?

U-100 is the standard scale for insulin syringes. 100 units = 1.0 mL. That means 10 units = 0.1 mL, 50 units = 0.5 mL. Multiply any draw volume in mL by 100 to get the U-100 units reading.

Do I need to recalculate if I change the amount of BAC water?

Yes. Changing BAC water volume changes the concentration (mg/mL), which changes the draw volume for the same mg dose. Always recalculate using: concentration = vial mg ÷ BAC water mL, then draw volume = dose mg ÷ concentration.

How do I convert mcg to mg for the calculator?

Divide mcg by 1000 to get mg. For example: 250 mcg = 0.25 mg, 500 mcg = 0.5 mg, 1000 mcg = 1 mg. Enter the mg value in the calculator.

What is AOD-9604 researched for?

AOD-9604 is a GH fragment studied for its potential role in fat metabolism and lipolysis, without the growth-promoting effects of full-length GH. Research use only.
