What Is It?
Adipotide (FTPP)
Pro-apoptotic peptide studied for adipose tissue.
Bacteriostatic Water
Sterile water containing a bacteriostatic preservative, commonly used when preparing multi-use research vials.

Best Practices & Common Mistakes
Best Practices
- Use sterile technique.
- Protect from light and heat.
- Store refrigerated when appropriate.
- Use clean syringe-unit math before measuring.
Common Mistakes
- Confusing milligrams with milliliters.
- Choosing an option with awkward decimal units.
- Using too little liquid for very small measurements.
- Shaking the vial aggressively.
Adipotide (FTPP) Storage & Handling
Lyophilized Powder: −20°C (−4°F) for long-term storage (up to 24 months). Refrigeration 2–8°C (36–46°F) for short-term use (up to ~3 months). Original sealed vial in the freezer is safest.
Reconstituted Solution: 2–8°C (36–46°F), use within ~7–14 days. Keep sealed, avoid light, and do not repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
You calculate it yourself: your body weight in kg × recommended dose in mg/kg. For example, if you weigh 80 kg and the dose is 0.5 mg/kg → 80 × 0.5 = 40 mg. Enter 40 into the field. The calculator does not know your weight, does not multiply, and does not verify it — it only works with the milligrams you enter.
The calculator simplifies choices to four convenient volumes. If you need a non‑standard volume (e.g., 2.5 mL to achieve 4 mg/mL with a 10 mg vial), you can calculate manually. However, for Adipotide it is critical not to exceed 4 mg/mL (i.e., for a 10 mg vial you need ≥2.5 mL). The calculator blocks 1 mL for 10 mg, but allows 2 mL. If you need a lower concentration, choose a larger volume (3 or 5 mL).
This means the required units on the syringe are below 4 units or do not fall on a whole or half mark (not a multiple of 0.5 units). For Adipotide, due to its viscosity, measuring less than 10 units (0.1 mL) is very inaccurate. The calculator suggests: increase the BAC water volume (e.g., from 1 mL to 2 mL) or use a larger syringe (50 or 100 units) so that the same dose requires more units.
A 30‑unit syringe holds only 0.3 mL. If your required dose volume exceeds 0.3 mL even with the largest dilution (5 mL of water), the calculator marks it as “Poor” because it will not physically fit. Example: for a 40 mg dose, 50 mg vial, and 5 mL water → concentration 10 mg/mL → dose volume = 4 mL, which does not fit any syringe. The calculator warns you, and you see that you need a smaller vial or a smaller dose.
Yes, as long as you do not add more water. Simply enter the new dose in the “Desired dose” field (e.g., change 40 to 80). The calculator will show the new units for the same vial. However, make sure that amount does not exceed the syringe capacity. For example, 80 mg at 20 mg/mL gives 4 mL – it will not fit. The calculator will show “Poor”, meaning you need two injections or a larger dilution volume from the start.
Practical takeaway: If your real goal is weight or metabolic health, the most useful next step is discussing approved treatment options with a clinician rather than relying on an unapproved compound.
