AOD-9604 + BPC-157 Stack Protocol — Path To Peptides

Complete AOD-9604 + BPC-157 stack protocol: synergistic fat loss and tissue repair dosing, dual peptide administration guide, timeline, and optimization stacking.

Context first

Study findings do not automatically establish clinical benefit, safety, dosing, or suitability for an individual.

Protocol Overview

Dosing Protocol

Standard

300 mcg

250 mcg

1x daily (AM fasted)

8-12 weeks

Enhanced Repair

300 mcg (AM)

250 mcg 2x (AM + PM)

2x daily BPC

Advanced

300 mcg 2x (AM + PM)

2x daily both

Key principle: AOD-9604 requires fasted administration (no food 30 min before/after). Both peptides can be drawn into the same syringe. For injury focus, inject BPC-157 near the injury site; for systemic benefits, inject in abdominal fat.

Reconstitution Guide

AOD-9604 (5mg vial)

Diluent: 2mL bacteriostatic water

Concentration: 2.5mg/mL

300mcg dose: 12 units on insulin syringe

Vial yield: ~16 doses at 300mcg

BPC-157 (5mg vial)

250mcg dose: 10 units on insulin syringe

Vial yield: 20 doses at 250mcg

Combined draw: 22 units total for both

Expected Timeline

Side Effects & Monitoring

Common Side Effects

Injection site redness (mild, transient)

Mild headache during first few days (uncommon)

Slight drowsiness with BPC-157 (some subjects)

Both peptides have excellent safety profiles. AOD-9604 does not affect blood glucose, IGF-1, or cortisol. BPC-157 is derived from gastric juice and has shown no toxicity in research.

Precautions

AOD-9604: take fasted for optimal fat loss

BPC-157: theoretical concern with active cancer (angiogenesis)

Monitor blood glucose if diabetic

Not recommended during pregnancy
