Key handling errors that can cause problems include: Shaking the vial vigorously during reconstitution, which denatures the peptide Using sterile water instead of bacteriostatic water, which lacks preservatives and allows bacterial growth Storing reconstituted peptide at room temperature instead of refrigerated Leaving the vial exposed to light, which degrades photosensitive amino acids Using reconstituted peptide beyond its stability window, typically 3-4 weeks Properly handled AOD 9604 should be clear and colorless in solution
If you want to stretch the vial across multiple smaller doses, add 2 mL of bacteriostatic water instead
If you drink or have ever drunk large quantities of alcohol
If the window is wasted, if the person relies entirely on the appetite suppression without changing their food environment, cooking skills, or activity level, regain after discontinuation is nearly inevitable
If undissolved material remains, return the vial to 2 to 8 degrees Celsius for 10 to 15 minutes and swirl again
