What is Tesamorelin?

Peptide Center

Tesamorelin is a synthetic growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog that stimulates the pituitary gland to produce and release growth hormone (GH). It is primarily used for reducing excess abdominal fat in people with HIV-associated lipodystrophy, but it also has potential anti-aging, fat loss, and cognitive benefits.

How Does Tesamorelin Work?

Tesamorelin works by mimicking natural GHRH, which signals the pituitary gland to increase growth hormone secretion. This results in:

1. Higher Growth Hormone Levels – Leads to increased metabolism, fat loss, and muscle retention.

2. Increased IGF-1 Production – IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor-1) promotes tissue growth, muscle repair, and recovery.

3. Enhanced Fat Breakdown (Lipolysis) – Helps reduce visceral fat (deep belly fat).

Benefits of Tesamorelin.

1. Reduces Visceral Fat (Belly Fat Loss)

• Proven to significantly decrease abdominal fat, particularly in those with HIV-related lipodystrophy.

• May also help non-HIV individuals struggling with stubborn belly fat.

2. Improves Metabolism & Fat Oxidation

• Helps the body burn fat for energy, leading to a leaner body composition.

• May support weight management in individuals with growth hormone deficiencies.

3. Enhances Cognitive Function & Brain Health

• Studies suggest Tesamorelin may improve memory, learning, and cognitive performance.

• May be useful in preventing age-related cognitive decline.

4. Supports Muscle Growth & Recovery

• Stimulates muscle protein synthesis, helping preserve lean muscle while losing fat.

• Beneficial for athletes and aging individuals experiencing muscle loss.

5. Promotes Skin & Anti-Aging Effects

• Increases collagen production, improving skin elasticity and reducing wrinkles.

• May help maintain youthful appearance by supporting tissue repair.

How is Tesamorelin Administered?

• Injected subcutaneously (under the skin), usually once daily.

• Dosage varies, but it’s commonly prescribed at 2 mg per day
