Adipotide Dosing Calculator
Adipotide (FTPP): Fat-targeting proapoptotic peptide guide.
Pre-filled with the most-reported community reconstitution protocol for Adipotide. See how 1 mL and 2 mL of bacteriostatic water change concentration and syringe-draw volume, then adjust the calculator below for your own vial.
Quick answer · Community-reported standard
A 5 mg vial of Adipotide reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water yields a concentration of 2.50 mg/mL. At that concentration, a 500 mcg dose of Adipotide equals 20 units on a U-100 insulin syringe (0.200 mL). Adipotide is typically administered once daily via subcutaneous.
Adipotide reconstitution: 1 mL vs 2 mL bac water
Bacteriostatic water volume is flexible. Less water means higher concentration and smaller injection volumes; more water means lower concentration and easier dose precision. Both options below are valid for a 5 mg vial.
| BAC water added | Concentration | Volume per 500 mcg dose | Draw on U-100 syringe (units) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mL | 5.00 mg/mL | 0.100 mL | 10 units |
| 2 mL | 2.50 mg/mL | 0.200 mL | 20 units |

Adipotide reconstitution & storage
As an experimental compound, no standard reconstitution protocol exists. In research settings, adipotide has been dissolved in sterile saline for injection. Appropriate dilution depends on the specific experimental protocol.
Store lyophilized peptide at -20C or below. Reconstituted solutions should be used promptly or stored at 2-8C for short-term use. Protect from light and repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Adipotide dosing FAQ
How much bacteriostatic water should I add to a 5 mg vial of Adipotide?
The community standard is 2 mL of bacteriostatic water for a 5 mg Adipotide vial. That gives a concentration of 2.50 mg/mL, so a 500 mcg dose is 20 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. Adding 1 mL instead doubles the concentration to 5.00 mg/mL and halves the draw to 10 units. Less water = smaller injection volume but harder to measure precisely.
How many syringe units is a 500 mcg dose of Adipotide?
On a standard U-100 insulin syringe, a 500 mcg dose of Adipotide is 20 units when the 5 mg vial is reconstituted with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water (2.50 mg/mL). If you use 1 mL of bac water instead, draw 10 units (5.00 mg/mL).
What is the standard Adipotide dose?
Community-reported protocols for Adipotide typically use 0.5 mgâ1 mg once daily via Subcutaneous. 500 mcg is a common starting dose. Doses derived from primate study scaling; short cycles used due to kidney toxicity concerns observed in animal studies; community use is rare and controversial
How long does a vial of Adipotide last at 500 mcg once daily?
A 5 mg vial of Adipotide contains roughly 10 doses at 500 mcg per injection. At once daily dosing, that is approximately 10 days (about 1 weeks) of supply per vial. Reconstituted Adipotide should generally be used within 28 days when refrigerated.
Where do you inject Adipotide?
Adipotide is typically injected subcutaneous. Common sites reported in the literature and by users include: Intraperitoneal (mouse studies), Subcutaneous (primate studies). Rotate sites with each injection to reduce localized irritation.
Can I use sterile water instead of bacteriostatic water for Adipotide?
Bacteriostatic water (containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative) is strongly preferred for multi-dose vials like Adipotide because it inhibits microbial growth and lets a single vial be used over multiple weeks. Sterile water has no preservative and should generally be reserved for single-use preparations only.
