Adipotide

Adipotide (also known as FTPP) is one of the most aggressive and controversial research peptides in the fat-loss category. Unlike AOD-9604, which stimulates the breakdown of fat, Adipotide is a pro-apoptotic peptide. It is designed to target the blood vessels supplying white adipose tissue (fat), essentially "starving" the fat cells until they undergo programmed cell death.

Because it targets the vascular supply of fat cells, the weight loss can be extremely rapid, but it requires extreme caution due to its potential impact on the kidneys.

1. Reconstitution & Dosage

Adipotide is typically found in 2mg, 5mg, or 10mg vials. Dosages in research vary widely, but a conservative approach is mandatory to monitor renal (kidney) health.

• Reconstitution: Add 2ml of Bacteriostatic Water to a 5mg vial.
• The Concentration: This creates 2.5mg per 1ml.
• Syringe Measurement (U-100 Insulin Syringe):
o 10 units (0.10ml) = 250mcg
o 17 units (0.17ml) = 425mcg (Standard daily starting dose)

• Standard Research Dose: 10mcg to 50mcg per kilogram of body weight. For an average adult, this usually translates to 400mcg to 1mg daily.

2. The Cycle (Short & Controlled)
Adipotide is never run as a long-term cycle. In clinical trials (mostly non-human primates), it was run for short bursts.

Phase Duration Frequency
Active Blast 21 to 28 Days Once Daily
Recovery/Washout 2 to 3 Months STRICT OFF

Crucial Warning: Do not exceed 28 days. The primary risk associated with Adipotide is reversible renal proximal tubule damage. You must allow the kidneys a long "washout" period between cycles.

3. Administration & Hydration
• Subcutaneous (SubQ): Standard injection into the fat of the stomach or thigh.
• The "Water Rule": You must drink a massive amount of water (3–4 liters daily) while researching Adipotide. The byproduct of dying fat cells and the peptide itself must be flushed through the kidneys constantly.

4. Storage & Stability
• Refrigeration: Mandatory after mixing.
• Stability: This peptide is relatively fragile. Avoid shaking the vial and use it within 14–21 days of reconstitution.

5. Potential Side Effects (The "Watch List")
• Kidney Stress: The most significant concern. Researchers look for signs like lower back pain, changes in urine color (darkening), or extreme fatigue.
• Dehydration: Adipotide can cause a dry mouth and increased thirst.
• Rapid Fat Loss: Because the fat cells are dying rather than just shrinking, the weight loss can be permanent in those specific areas, but it can also lead to a "sick" feeling as the body processes the cellular debris.

The "Safety First" Stack
Because of the kidney load, researchers never stack Adipotide with other harsh compounds. Instead, they pair it with support:
1. Astragalus Root: For kidney/renal support.
2. BPC-157: To help manage systemic inflammation from the fat-cell apoptosis.

Supply Checklist for 28 Days (at 500mcg/day):
1. Adipotide: 3 x 5mg Vials.
2. Kidney Support: (e.g., NAC or Astragalus).
3. Bacteriostatic Water: 1 x 30ml vial.
