What is Sermorelin?
Sermorelin is a synthetic copy of the first 29 amino acids of human growth-hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH 1-29).
How does Sermorelin work?
It activates the pituitary’s GHRH receptor to release growth hormone in natural pulses.
What are researchers studying?
- ●Diagnosing growth-hormone deficiency
- ●Growth in children with GH deficiency
- ●Age-related GH decline
Where does the evidence stand?
Was FDA-approved (Geref) for children with growth-hormone deficiency; the branded product was discontinued in 2008 for commercial reasons.
