About Sermorelin

Sermorelin is a synthetic analogue of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) consisting of the first 29 amino acids of the 44-amino-acid GHRH molecule. It stimulates the pituitary gland to produce and release growth hormone naturally. Previously FDA-approved for pediatric GH deficiency, it maintains the body's natural feedback mechanisms unlike exogenous GH.
