What is Tesamorelin?
Tesamorelin is a synthetic analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). It contains all 44 amino acids of human GHRH with a trans-3-hexenoic acid group added at the N-terminus, which protects it from enzymatic breakdown and extends its activity compared with native GHRH.
Tesamorelin acts on pituitary GHRH receptors to stimulate pulsatile growth-hormone release. Research uses include the growth-hormone / IGF-1 axis, visceral adipose tissue and lipid metabolism, and comparison with shorter GHRH analogs such as sermorelin and CJC-1295.

Tesamorelin FAQ
What is tesamorelin?
Tesamorelin is a stabilised synthetic GHRH analog used in laboratory research on the growth-hormone axis and adipose tissue.
How does tesamorelin differ from sermorelin?
Sermorelin is the first 29 amino acids of GHRH. Tesamorelin is the full 44-amino-acid sequence with an added N-terminal group for stability.
Is Tesamorelin for human use?
No. Tesamorelin is sold strictly for laboratory research use. It is not a drug, food or supplement, and is not for human or veterinary use or for diagnosing, treating or preventing any condition.
