Sermorelin
Growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH) analog for stimulating natural growth hormone production and supporting healthy aging
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Natural HGH Optimization
Potential Benefits of Sermorelin
Physiologic GH Support
Stimulates your pituitary to release growth hormone in a natural, pulsatile pattern rather than replacing it outright.
Sleep & Recovery
Commonly used to support deeper sleep, post-training recovery, and overall vitality when paired with healthy habits.
Body Composition Support
When combined with nutrition and exercise, may help lean-mass maintenance and fat-loss programs.
Important: Compounded sermorelin is used off-label in adults. It is not FDA-approved for anti-aging or weight loss. Use only under a licensed clinician’s supervision.

Contraindications
-
Active malignancy or history of cancer without confirmed remission
-
Known hypersensitivity to sermorelin acetate or formulation excipients
-
Pregnancy or breastfeeding
Use with Caution
-
Diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance — monitor glucose/A1c
-
Thyroid or pituitary disorders — evaluate underlying endocrine status
-
Fluid retention symptoms (edema, paresthesia) — adjust or discontinue if needed
-
Concurrent use with other GH-axis therapies — specialist oversight recommended

Why Choose Sermorelin?
Sermorelin (a GHRH analogue) works with your pituitary to stimulate your own growth hormone production, supporting a physiologic, pulsatile GH pattern rather than direct hormone replacement.
Patient Story:
“Within a few weeks I noticed deeper sleep and better recovery after workouts. My overall stamina feels improved.” — Naomi S.
Mechanism of Action
-
GHRH Receptor Agonism: Binds pituitary GHRH receptors to trigger endogenous GH release
-
Physiologic Pulsatility: Encourages nightly GH pulses and downstream IGF-1 production
-
Metabolic Effects: GH/IGF-1 pathway supports tissue repair and body-composition programs
-
Administration: Subcutaneous injection; rotate sites and follow clinician guidance
