HGH Fragment 176-191 and AOD-9604 cut straight to fat loss. They copy HGH's fat-burning part without the muscle gains or blood sugar mess. Reconstitute 5 mg vials the same. Dose in mcg ranges that overlap. Inject subQ every day. I like HGH Frag for stubborn belly fat—250 to 500 mcg hits hard. AOD-9604 keeps fat oxidation going steady at 300 mcg, split up. Grab our AOD-9604 calculator or check the protocols below. Dial in what fits you.
Reconstitute your 5 mg vials right
Take a 5 mg vial of HGH Fragment 176-191 or AOD-9604. Bacteriostatic water only. No plain sterile stuff.
- Wipe the vial top with an alcohol swab.
- Draw 2 ml bacteriostatic water into a 3 ml syringe.
- Drip the water slowly down the side of the vial. Don't blast the powder.
- Let it sit 10 minutes. Roll gently to mix. Skip the shaking.
- You get 5 mg in 2 ml. That's 2500 mcg per ml, or 250 mcg per 0.1 ml.
Use a 1 ml insulin syringe with 0.01 ml marks. 0.1 ml pulls 250 mcg. 0.2 ml gets 500 mcg. Stick mixed vials in the fridge at 2 to 8°C. They last 30 days. Freeze unopened ones at -20°C for 6 months. Let them warm to room temp before you draw.

Morning HGH Frag plus a fasted walk? Lipolysis goes nuts. AOD morning keeps the burn steady.

Storage tips that save your vials
- Unmixed 5 mg vials: Room temp short-term. Fridge 2 to 8°C best. Freezer -20°C up to 1 year.
- Mixed: Fridge only at 2 to 8°C. Use in 28 days. No freezing after mixing.
- Travel: Cooler bag with ice packs. Stay under 37°C.

Bad storage clumps the powder or makes it dissolve slow. Toss it.
