Tesamorelin
Research peptide · Lyophilized vial 10 mg · 99% HPLC purity
Stabilized GHRH analog studied for raising endogenous growth hormone and mobilizing visceral fat.
Tesamorelin is a stabilized synthetic analog of growth hormone-releasing factor (GHRH). It stimulates pulsatile endogenous growth hormone secretion—preserving its physiological rhythm—which in research has been associated with mobilization of visceral adipose tissue and changes in the GH/IGF-1 axis.
Benefits studied in research
- Studied for its effect on visceral adipose tissue (VAT) reduction, with mean decreases of ~15% versus placebo in a 26-week trial.
- Investigated for its association with improvements in the lipid profile, including reduced triglycerides.
- Evaluated for its effect on liver fat reduction in research on abdominal adiposity.
- Analyzed for raising IGF-1 levels as a readout of the GH/IGF-1 axis, a key biomarker in endocrine studies.

Frequently asked questions
By stimulating endogenous GH in a pulsatile fashion, it is investigated within the same framework as other secretagogues in the recovery and body-composition line.
Tesamorelin acts only on the GHRH receptor; blends such as Ipamorelin + CJC-1295 pair a ghrelin secretagogue with a GHRH analog to study a synergistic effect on pulsatility.
