Tesamorelin is a synthetic peptide analogue of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) administered by subcutaneous injection. Approved by the FDA for the reduction of visceral abdominal fat in HIV patients and lipodystrophy, it is also used off-label by athletes and bodybuilders for body composition optimization and recovery.
Main Benefits:
• Targeted reduction of abdominal visceral fat
• Preservation of lean muscle mass during fat loss
• Natural increase in growth hormone (GH) and IGF-1 levels
• Improved muscle recovery and recovery time between workouts
• Supports collagen synthesis and connective tissue repair.
• Beneficial metabolic effects without estrogen conversion
• Potential improvement in cognitive function and sleep quality
• Preserves the sensitivity of GH receptors (unlike synthetic GH)
Typical Dosages:
- Adults: 1.4-2 mg per day (subcutaneous injection)
Cycle duration: 12-16 weeks (minimum recommended)
- Administration: Preferably before bedtime to align with natural rhythms.
Protocol: 5 days a week with 2 days off (optional)
Tesamorelin is considered a safer option compared to synthetic growth hormone because it works with the body's natural hormonal rhythms. Effects manifest gradually, with visible results in 4-6 weeks and full benefits after 12 weeks of consistent use. Regular monitoring of IGF-1 and glucose levels is required during use. Not recommended for pregnant women, individuals with active tumors, or pituitary gland problems.
