Adipotide
Also known as: FTPP · Prohibitin-TP01
An experimental peptide studied for rapid fat loss by cutting the blood supply to fat tissue.

| Also known as | FTPP, Prohibitin-TP01 |
| Category | Fat loss |
| Type | Peptide |
| Sequence | Targeting peptide fused to a pro-apoptotic sequence |
| Typical dose | Research/preclinical only |
| Frequency | Short courses in studies |
| Route | Subcutaneous injection |
| Half-life | Short. |
Overview
Adipotide works differently from most fat-loss compounds: it targets the blood vessels that feed white fat tissue and triggers them to die, effectively starving fat cells. Primate studies showed significant fat loss, but kidney toxicity concerns have kept it firmly experimental.
How it’s thought to work
- Homes to receptors on the vasculature of white adipose tissue.
- Triggers apoptosis of those blood vessels, causing fat cells to shrink.
Researched uses
- Obesity research (primate/preclinical)
Commonly cited protocol
| Typical dose | Research/preclinical only |
|---|---|
| Frequency | Short courses in studies |
| Route | Subcutaneous injection |
| Notes | No established human protocol. |
Reconstitution
Often a 5 mg vial. Because of safety concerns it is rarely used; treat figures as reference only.
Adipotide dosage calculator
The calculator below is pre-filled with Adipotide’s commonly cited vial size and dose. Adjust the vial amount, bacteriostatic water, or dose to match your own vial — it will show the exact insulin-syringe units to draw, the concentration, and how many doses the vial holds.
Add 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to your 5 mg vial. That gives you about 10 doses of 500 mcg. For each dose, draw 20 units into a 100-unit insulin syringe.
