How the numbers work for AOD-9604
A 5 mg vial of AOD-9604 with 3 mL of bacteriostatic water is 5 / 3 = 1.67 mg/mL. A 100 mcg dose (0.1 mg) is 0.1 / 1.67 = 0.06 mL, which is 6 units on a U-100 syringe, or the same number of clicks on a pen. With 2 mL of water instead, the concentration is 2.5 mg/mL and the same dose is 4 units. At that dose the vial holds 50 doses.
The formulas are the same for every compound: concentration is the vial amount divided by the water, the draw is the dose divided by the concentration, and a U-100 unit is 0.01 mL. They are written out on the methodology page.
AOD-9604 units at a glance
Syringe units for the amounts recorded for AOD-9604, from a 5 mg vial, across the water volumes people most often use. These are recorded examples used for the arithmetic, not recommendations; a draw under 6 units is hard to measure repeatably and more water fixes that.

Where the amounts come from
The doses above are recorded amounts from the AOD-9604 entry in the compound library, which lists the sources behind them, labels each as clinical, preclinical or community-reported, and states what the evidence can and cannot support. The vial strength is the one most often listed by suppliers. Nothing on this page is medical advice.
Common questions about AOD-9604
- Is AOD-9604 an FDA-approved medicine?
- AOD-9604 is not an approved medicine anywhere. FDA reviewed it as a bulk substance for compounding, placed it in category 2 for immunogenicity and impurity concerns, and the nomination was later withdrawn, so it is on no list of substances that may be compounded.
- How much bacteriostatic water do I add to a 5 mg vial of AOD-9604?
- There is no single right amount: the water sets the concentration and the size of the draw, not the dose. This page opens on 3 mL, which makes 1.67 mg/mL and puts a 100 mcg dose at 6 units on a U-100 syringe. With 1 mL the same dose is 2 units; with 3 mL it is 6 units. More water gives a larger, easier-to-read draw, as long as the vial can hold it.
- How many units is 100 mcg of AOD-9604?
- At 1.67 mg/mL (5 mg in 3 mL of water), 100 mcg is 0.06 mL, which is 6 units on a U-100 insulin syringe or 6 clicks on a peptide pen. At any other concentration the number changes; the units table on this page gives the other common water volumes.
- How many doses are in a 5 mg vial of AOD-9604?
- At 100 mcg per dose, a 5 mg vial holds 50 doses. The water volume changes the size of each draw, not the number of doses in the vial.
- Where do the AOD-9604 amounts on this page come from?
- They are amounts recorded for AOD-9604 in the compound library (https://peptidescalculator.com/compound-library/aod9604), which lists the sources behind them and labels each as clinical, preclinical or community-reported. They are shown for the arithmetic, not as recommendations, and the vial strength is the one suppliers list most often. Nothing on this page is medical advice.
