What the research shows

  • Ages 18 to 70

    In 2,791 healthy adults, IGF-1, the blood marker of growth hormone activity, fell steadily with age

    Source: Zhu H, et al. PLoS One 2017;12(10):e0185561
  • Pulsatile

    Growth hormone secretagogues trigger pulses of your own growth hormone, which stay under the body's feedback brake

    Source: Sigalos JT, Pastuszak AW. Sex Med Rev 2018;6(1):45-53 (review)
  • Limited evidence

    A systematic review found no definite evidence that older adults benefit from growth hormone or secretagogues

    Source: Fanciulli G, et al. Hum Reprod Update 2009;15(3):341-358 (systematic review)

Sermorelin is compounded by a licensed US pharmacy and is not FDA approved. The reviews above cover growth hormone secretagogues as a group, and long-term controlled studies are limited. Individual results vary.

From your questions to your first bedtime dose

Sermorelin is a copy of the first 29 amino acids of growth hormone releasing hormone. It nudges your pituitary to release growth hormone in pulses, so your body's feedback brake stays in place.

That is the case for it over direct growth hormone. What we do not have is strong, long-term evidence that it improves how healthy adults look, feel or age, so we describe it as a limited-evidence option, not a proven one.

An injection at bedtime, five nights a week. Taken on an empty stomach so it works with your body’s own overnight rhythm.

What to expect

  1. 01

    Each dose

    A pulse of your own growth hormone follows within about 10 minutes and fades after a couple of hours, in a trial of a releasing-hormone analog.

  2. 02

    Weeks 1 to 4

    Some people report better sleep and recovery. Research is mixed, so track how you feel rather than expect it.

  3. 03

    Months 2 to 3

    Evidence for body composition changes in healthy adults is thin, so decide on how you feel and sleep, not on the mirror.

  4. 04

    Every month

    Your plan renews monthly, so you check in and decide whether it is worth continuing.

What makes it work better

Three things you can do alongside your treatment.

  1. An East Asian man in his mid 40s resting well at home
    01

    Protect deep sleep

    Most of your growth hormone is released in early sleep. A fixed wake time, a dark cool room and no screens for two hours before bed give the signal the most room to work.

  2. Woman stretching beside a community garden
    02

    Train, then recover

    Exercise raises growth hormone on its own, and a systematic review calls sleep and exercise safer and cheaper than supplementing. Strength work plus protein gives any extra release something to build on.

  3. Woman preparing a fresh lunch in her kitchen
    03

    Keep late meals light

    A heavy meal or high-carbohydrate snack close to bedtime can blunt overnight growth hormone release and disturb sleep. Finish eating a few hours before you inject.

The best results in the research come from sleep and exercise first. Sermorelin is an add-on, not a shortcut.

Before you start

  • Sermorelin is compounded and not approved by the FDA, so there is no FDA-reviewed safety label for what is dispensed.
  • Tell your clinician if you have or have had cancer, a pituitary condition, diabetes or thyroid disease, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • You inject under the skin at bedtime on an empty stomach, five nights a week, as your clinician directs.

How to take it

Inject 30 units (300 mcg) under the skin at bedtime, five nights on and two off, on an empty stomach, as your clinician directs.

Side effects and safety

There is no sermorelin product on the US market with FDA approval today. The two products that were approved were discontinued, and neither was approved for anti-aging, sleep or body composition. That means there is no FDA reviewed safety label for what is dispensed and no established side effect rate.

Tell your care team straight away if you get swelling, redness or a lump at the injection site that does not settle, a rash, trouble breathing, headaches that will not go, or swelling in your hands or feet.

This is not a complete list of side effects. Message your care team about any symptom that worries you. What we dispense is a compounded preparation made by a licensed US pharmacy. Compounded medications are not approved by the FDA for safety, efficacy or quality.

Your questions, answered.

A South Asian woman in her early 50s with a silver streak in her hair reading a message from her care team
Is sermorelin FDA approved?+

No. The brand-name product, Geref, was approved for diagnosing and treating growth hormone deficiency, mainly in children, and its maker stopped selling it. The FDA later said that was not for safety or effectiveness reasons. Ours is compounded by a licensed US pharmacy, so there is no FDA-reviewed safety label for what is dispensed.

Will it build muscle or burn fat?+

The honest answer is that we do not know. Small studies of growth hormone releasing hormone in older adults raised growth hormone and IGF-1, with mixed effects on muscle and body composition, and reviews call the evidence for healthy adults limited. Treat any change as something to track, not a promise.

Why at bedtime and on an empty stomach?+

Your own growth hormone release peaks in early sleep, and a meal, especially carbohydrate, can blunt it. Dosing at night on an empty stomach works with that rhythm.

What is IGF-1 and do I need to test it?+

IGF-1 is the blood marker that reflects your average growth hormone activity. It is not swayed by time of day, exercise or a recent meal, so clinicians use it to see how you are responding. Your clinician may suggest an IGF-1 test, and a fasting glucose check because reviews flag a possible rise. Neither is required to start.

How long can I stay on it?+

Studies of growth hormone releasing hormone ran from weeks to a few months, and long-term safety is not established. That is why your plan renews monthly and you can cancel anytime.

What side effects are reported?+

Reviews describe growth hormone secretagogues as generally well tolerated, with some concern that blood glucose can rise. Redness or itching at the injection site, flushing and headache are the effects people usually mention. Tell your care team about anything that worries you.
