At a glance
A combined research record involving AOD-9604, a CJC-1295 formulation and ipamorelin.
This profile separates the compound’s scientific background from specification-specific preparation and source schedules. Begin with the research findings and limitations, then select the formulation you want to examine.
How it works
This record brings together AOD-9604, a CJC-1295 formulation and ipamorelin. The scientific rationale draws on the component pathways, but a plausible combination is not proof of an additive or synergistic clinical effect. Identify the exact components, formulation and relative amounts before comparing it with a published study.[1][7][2]
Potential benefits & side effects
Interpret each outcome in the context of the study population, formulation and evidence type. Research findings do not establish a personal treatment outcome.
Potential benefits & research findings
Most component findings must be interpreted separately from evidence for the complete preparation. A co-administration study does not automatically validate a premixed vial, and a blended total is not the dose of each constituent.[1][5][2]
Read the original publications to see the measured endpoints, comparator, duration and uncertainty. Mechanistic plausibility and a favorable experimental result are different from demonstrated clinical benefit.
Side effects & evidence limitations
Interpret the reported adverse effects together with the study population, route and observation period. Small or short studies can miss uncommon and delayed harms. Evidence from a related compound does not establish the safety of AOD-9604 + CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin.

Standard / Gradual Approach (3 mL reconstitution)
| Week | Daily Dose | Units (mL) |
|---|---|---|
| Week 1 | 200 mcg AOD / 100 mcg CJC / 100 mcg Ip | 10 units (0.10 mL) |
| Week 2 | 300 mcg AOD / 150 mcg CJC / 150 mcg Ip | 15 units (0.15 mL) |
| Weeks 3–12 | 400 mcg AOD / 200 mcg CJC / 200 mcg Ip | 20 units (0.20 mL) |
Concentration after reconstitution: 2.0 mg/mL AOD-9604 | 1.0 mg/mL CJC-1295 | 1.0 mg/mL Ipamorelin Frequency: Inject once daily subcutaneously, preferably in the morning or before bed on an empty stomach. For ≤10‑unit (≤0.10 mL) administrations during titration, consider 30‑ or 50‑unit insulin syringes for improved readability.
Additional schedule context & duration
Concise summary of the once‑daily regimen.
- Goal: Support body composition improvements through combined lipolytic and GH-stimulating mechanisms[4][5].
- Schedule: Daily subcutaneous injections for 8–12 weeks (extend to 16 weeks if desired).
- Dose Range: 200–400 mcg AOD / 100–200 mcg CJC / 100–200 mcg Ip daily with gradual titration.
- Reconstitution: 3.0 mL per 12 mg vial (4 mg/mL total concentration).
- Storage: Lyophilized frozen; reconstituted refrigerated; avoid repeated freeze–thaw.
Suggested daily titration approach.
- Start: 0.10 mL daily (200 mcg AOD / 100 mcg CJC / 100 mcg Ip); increase by ~0.05 mL weekly as tolerated.
- Target: 0.20 mL daily (400 mcg AOD / 200 mcg CJC / 200 mcg Ip) by Week 3.
- Frequency: Once per day (subcutaneous).
- Cycle Length: 8–12 weeks; optional extension to 16 weeks.
- Timing: Morning or before bed on an empty stomach; rotate injection sites.
Preparation
Reconstitution Steps
- Draw 3.0 mL bacteriostatic water with a sterile syringe.
- Inject slowly down the vial wall; avoid foaming.
- Gently swirl/roll until dissolved (do not shake).
- Label and refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F), protected from light.
Storage Instructions
Proper storage preserves peptide quality.
- Lyophilized: Store at −20 °C (−4 °F) in dry, dark conditions; minimize moisture exposure.
- Reconstituted: Refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35.6–46.4 °F); use within 28 days per CDC/USP guidelines[6].
- Allow vials to reach room temperature before opening to reduce condensation uptake.
Injection Technique
General subcutaneous guidance from clinical best-practice resources[9].
- Clean the vial stopper and skin with alcohol; allow to dry.
- Pinch a skinfold; insert the needle at 45–90° into subcutaneous tissue[10][11].
- Do not aspirate for subcutaneous injections; inject slowly and steadily[10].
- Rotate sites systematically (abdomen, thighs, upper arms) to avoid lipohypertrophy[12].
- Dispose of used syringes in an approved sharps container; follow local disposal regulations.
Materials & quantity planning
Source materials checklist · 12 mg
Plan based on an 8–16 week daily protocol with gradual titration (maintenance dose: 0.20 mL/day).
- Peptide Blend Vials (12 mg each):
- 8 weeks (~11.2 mL total): 4 vials
- 12 weeks (~16.8 mL total): 6 vials
- 16 weeks (~22.4 mL total): 8 vials
- Insulin Syringes (U‑100):
- Per week: 7 syringes (1/day)
- 8 weeks: 56 syringes
- 12 weeks: 84 syringes
- 16 weeks: 112 syringes
- Bacteriostatic Water (10 mL bottles): Use 3.0 mL per vial for reconstitution.
- 8 weeks (4 vials): 12 mL → 2 × 10 mL bottles
- 12 weeks (6 vials): 18 mL → 2 × 10 mL bottles
- 16 weeks (8 vials): 24 mL → 3 × 10 mL bottles
- Alcohol Swabs: One for the vial stopper + one for the injection site each day.
- Per week: 14 swabs (2/day)
- 8 weeks: 112 swabs → recommend 2 × 100‑count boxes
- 12 weeks: 168 swabs → recommend 2 × 100‑count boxes
- 16 weeks: 224 swabs → recommend 3 × 100‑count boxes
Calculate a phased quantity
Enter each finite phase from the schedule you are studying. Open-ended phases need an explicit duration. Calculation uses 12 mg per vial and 3 mL per vial.
Complete each phase to calculate totals.
Quantity estimates exclude preparation losses and expiry. Follow the formulation’s handling and disposal requirements.
