What is Sermorelin?
Research Focus: Anti-Aging, GH
Sermorelin is a synthetic analog of Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH). It is a Growth Hormone Secretagogue (GHS) studied for stimulating the pituitary gland to release endogenous GH.
At a Glance
Sermorelin is the first 29 amino acids of the naturally occurring GHRH. It acts on the pituitary to promote the pulsatile release of GH, leading to increased IGF-1 levels. This section provides a general overview of its research context.
About Sermorelin
Sermorelin is the first 29 amino acids of the naturally occurring GHRH. It acts on the pituitary to promote the pulsatile release of GH, leading to increased IGF-1 levels.
How It Works
Pituitary Stimulation
Binds to GHRH receptors, triggering the natural release of GH.
Physiological Release
Promotes GH release in a manner that mimics the body's natural rhythm, particularly during sleep.
Current Research Insights
Natural GH Restoration
Sermorelin is often used in research protocols aimed at restoring youthful GH levels, focusing on improving sleep, body composition, and vitality.
Areas of Study
Age-Related GH Deficiency
Investigated for improving body composition, bone density, and skin elasticity in older adults.
Sleep Quality
Studied for enhancing deep, restorative sleep (delta wave sleep), where most GH is released.
Sermorelin is strictly intended for laboratory and clinical research:
- Available exclusively from authorized research suppliers
- Not FDA-approved for general therapeutic use
- Comprehensive safety, efficacy, and dosage guidelines remain under ongoing investigation
FAQs
Research
- Studies on GHRH analogs and their effects on GH and IGF-1 levels.
- Research into the use of Sermorelin for improving body composition in adults.
