The short answer

Tesamorelin is a synthetic analog of growth-hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). It is studied in metabolic research as a growth hormone secretagogue and supplied for research use only.

What Tesamorelin is

Tesamorelin is a peptide modeled on GHRH, the natural signal that prompts the release of growth hormone. Peptides in this family are called growth hormone secretagogues because they act on the body's own signaling system.

How it is studied

In the laboratory, Tesamorelin is studied in metabolic research. Like related compounds such as Sermorelin and CJC-1295, it is a research peptide, a study tool not approved or intended for human use.

What to look for

A research-grade Tesamorelin should ship with a batch-specific certificate of analysis documenting purity and identity.

Key takeaways

  • Tesamorelin is a synthetic GHRH analog.
  • It is a growth hormone secretagogue studied in metabolic research.
  • It is related to Sermorelin and CJC-1295 in the same family.
  • Research-grade Tesamorelin is supplied for research use only.
