What It Is
Tesamorelin is a synthetic growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog with an extended amino acid chain that increases stability and bioavailability. This 44-amino acid peptide stimulates natural GH secretion through direct pituitary action.
How It Works
Tesamorelin binds to GHRH receptors on somatotroph cells in the pituitary, triggering GH secretion. The extended structure gives it a longer half-life than natural GHRH, allowing less frequent dosing while maintaining consistent GH stimulation. Effects build gradually through regular administration.
Key Benefits & Use Cases
- Sustained growth hormone elevation
- Improved body composition and muscle mass
- Enhanced recovery and regeneration
- Support for lean tissue development
General Dosage Information
Research protocols typically use 1-2mg injected daily or 2-3 times weekly. The compound has a 26-hour half-life, allowing flexible dosing schedules. Often combined with GHRPs for enhanced GH stimulation.
