Peptide Comparison
Sermorelin vs Tesamorelin
Sermorelin and tesamorelin are both GHRH analogs, but tesamorelin is FDA-approved for visceral fat reduction in HIV-associated lipodystrophy, while sermorelin is used primarily in age-management protocols.
Sermorelin
Sermorelin is a synthetic analog of the first 29 amino acids of GHRH, previously FDA-approved for growth hormone deficiency diagnosis and treatment. It stimulates natural GH production from the pituitary gland and is widely used in age-management protocols for its favorable safety profile.
Sermorelin Clinical ReferenceTesamorelin
Tesamorelin is an FDA-approved synthetic GHRH analog indicated for the reduction of excess abdominal fat in HIV-infected patients with lipodystrophy. It stimulates physiological growth hormone secretion and has demonstrated significant visceral adipose tissue reduction in clinical trials.
