About this compound

About this compound

Tesamorelin is a stabilised synthetic analogue (a chemically protected copy) of growth-hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), the natural signal that tells the pituitary gland to release growth hormone.

What it has been researched for

Its pivotal human trials (in HIV-associated lipodystrophy - an abnormal redistribution of body fat) showed roughly a 15% reduction in visceral fat (deep abdominal fat) over six months, with improved blood lipids. Research interest centres on the GH/IGF-1 axis and visceral-fat metabolism.

How it is thought to work

Agonism (activation) of the GHRH receptor, stimulating the body’s own pulsatile growth-hormone release rather than supplying growth hormone directly.

Regulatory status

Tesamorelin is the active ingredient of an FDA-approved prescription medicine (Egrifta / Egrifta WR) for HIV-associated lipodystrophy. The material here is an unapproved research compound - it is not that medicine, is not for human use, and is provided for laboratory research only.
