Lipotropin — also known as AOD 9604 — is typically applied via subcutaneous injection (SC), meaning it’s injected into the fatty layer under the skin, usually in the abdomen or thigh.
This method allows for gradual absorption into the bloodstream, supporting consistent fat-burning activity throughout the day. The injection is quick, minimally invasive, and similar to insulin delivery.
Always use sterile insulin syringes and bacteriostatic water when reconstituting your peptide vial.
Storage & Handling
Before reconstitution: Store the dry vial refrigerated at 2–8 °C.
After reconstitution: Use within 10–14 days and keep refrigerated.
Do not freeze the mixed solution.
Inspect for cloudiness or discoloration before use.
Dosage Recommendations by Protocol Goal
The ideal dosage of Lipotropin depends on your goal, experience level, and whether you’re stacking it with other fat-burning agents or not. Here’s a breakdown:
1. General Fat Loss (Beginner or Wellness Use)
Dose: 200–300 mcg once daily
Timing: AM on an empty stomach, or 30 min before fasted cardio
Duration: 6–8 weeks, with optional 2-week pause
Ideal for:
Beginners
Non-athletes
Women seeking mild metabolic support
Individuals on a caloric deficit
2. Recomposition / Body Shaping (Intermediate Use)
Dose: 250–400 mcg daily (split into 1–2 doses)
Timing: Morning + pre-workout or evening
Duration: 8–12 weeks
Ideal for:
Fitness-conscious individuals
Stacks with Carnitine, ATP, or GH Secretagogues
Lean bulking with fat control
3. Accelerated Cutting (Athlete Protocol)
**Dose: 300–500 mcg daily (2–3 injections)
**Timing:**AM fasted; Pre-workout; Pre-bed (if stacked with GH fragments or secretagogues)
Duration: 6–8 weeks, followed by a 2–4 week rest
Ideal for:
Bodybuilders or athletes during cutting prep
Stacks with CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, or L-Carnitine
Protocols involving fasted cardio or thermogenic training
Best Practices & Considerations
Do not eat 30 minutes before or after injection for optimal bioavailability.
Rotate injection sites to avoid local irritation.
Lipotropin does not increase muscle mass or IGF-1 — it’s ideal to stack if you want those effects.
Results are gradual: expect changes over weeks, not days.
Safe for women, natural athletes, and PCT (post-cycle therapy) phases due to non-hormonal action.
Stacking Tips
For fat oxidation: Combine with L-Carnitine injections or ATP stacks
For sleep-recovery synergy: Take a smaller second dose before bed with DSIP or GH fragments
For longevity-friendly cutting: Use with NAD+, GHK-Cu, or Epitalon protocols
Conclusion
Lipotropin (AOD 9604) offers a versatile, non-hormonal pathway to target stubborn fat. Whether you’re an athlete, beginner, or simply optimizing your body composition, it can be tailored to your protocol — safely and effectively.
