Sermorelin
What it is, what people take it for, and how it works, in plain language.
What is Sermorelin?
A fragment of growth-hormone-releasing hormone, once used to test growth hormone release and to treat growth hormone deficiency in children.
What do people take Sermorelin for?
Growth hormone support for body composition, recovery and aging.

It is the first 29 amino acids of growth-hormone-releasing hormone, the part that carries the signal, so it prompts the pituitary to release growth hormone.
Questions people ask about Sermorelin
Is sermorelin the same as CJC-1295?
Both are versions of growth-hormone-releasing hormone. Sermorelin is the natural signaling fragment; CJC-1295 was modified to last much longer.
Should I talk to a physician about Sermorelin?
If you are considering it, or already using it, a physician can look at your history, your labs and your goals, and at what else might explain what you are hoping to change. At Aether Medicine in King of Prussia, near Philadelphia, or by video for patients in Pennsylvania.
