Sermorelin

GHRH analog that stimulates your body's own growth hormone in a physiologic pattern.

Daily subcutaneous injection (self-administered)
Physician-supervised

Overview

Sermorelin is a growth-hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog. Rather than replacing HGH, it stimulates the pituitary to release GH in its natural pulsatile rhythm — supporting sleep, recovery, body composition and cellular repair.

Key benefits

  • Improved sleep depth and recovery
  • Enhanced lean-mass to fat ratio
  • Skin, hair and nail quality
  • Cognitive and mood support

How it works

Nightly subcutaneous injection self-administered at bedtime. Onset is gradual; most patients report sleep improvement within 2 weeks and body-composition changes over 3–6 months.

Mechanism

Binds pituitary GHRH receptors, promoting endogenous GH release which drives hepatic IGF-1 production.

Who is this for

  • Adults with age-related decline in GH
  • Longevity patients optimizing recovery
  • Athletes seeking clean recovery support

Considerations & safety

Not indicated in active malignancy. IGF-1 monitored quarterly. Injection-site reactions possible.

Frequently asked

How is this different from HGH?+

Sermorelin stimulates your own natural pulsatile GH; HGH is exogenous and shuts down natural production.

How long is a cycle?+

Typically 3–6 months on, with breaks.

When will I feel it?+

Sleep improvements within 2 weeks; body composition within 3+ months.

Any side effects?+

Mild injection-site reactions, occasional water retention early on.
