How to Use Sermorelin
Complete guide to Sermorelin dosing, administration, timing, and protocol recommendations.
Quick Overview
Sermorelin is a 29-amino-acid fragment of human growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), and it is the shortest piece of GHRH that still works fully. It asks the pituitary to make and release its own growth hormone rather than injecting GH itself. It was once an FDA-approved drug for diagnosing and treating growth hormone deficiency in children, but the manufacturer pulled it from the market in 2008, so today it is available mainly through compounding pharmacies for off-label use.
