Protocol stack
Advanced Fat Loss Stack
For those who have plateaued on GLP-1 alone or want to accelerate body recomposition. AOD-9604 adds targeted lipolysis without affecting insulin sensitivity, making it complementary to semaglutide's appetite suppression. Requires prescription for both compounds.
What's in this stack
Semaglutide
Maintenance dose (as prescribed) · Once weekly
Timing: Same day each week
Continue existing semaglutide protocol. Do not add AOD-9604 until you have been on a stable semaglutide dose for at least 4 weeks.
AOD-9604
300 mcg · Once daily
Timing: Morning, fasted — wait 30 minutes before eating
Inject subcutaneously in the abdomen. Fasted administration is important — food blunts the lipolytic effect.
