Tesamorelin
What is tesamorelin and how does it work?
Growth hormone is a very important anti-aging hormone that helps with cell growth and metabolic efficiency. It also helps with the production of IGF-1 to reproduce and regenerate cells. But your body has a negative feedback system for growth hormone, so injecting GH leads to too much IGF-1, which accelerates cellular aging.
Whereas, growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) gently stimulates the pituitary to release growth hormones without activating the negative feedback. So, you can get the anti-aging, muscle-building, and fat-loss benefits of growth hormone without the side effects of growth hormone injections.
Tesamorelin is a GHRH that increases IGF-1 without disrupting its negative feedback loop. It was initially approved to treat HIV-associated lipodystrophy (increase in mid-section fat between organs due to antiretroviral drugs).
