Sermorelin Acetate 6mg vial (lyophilized)

Sermorelin acetate is a structural analog of naturally occurring, human Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone (GHRH) consisting of its first 29 amino acids.  Sermorelin stimulates production in and secretion of GH from the pituitary gland by activating GHRH receptors on pituitary somatotrophs. As a result, sermorelin has several clinical indications and applications related to GHRH/GH deficiency (GHD) including diagnostic evaluation of pituitary function and management of age-related, maladaptive changes in body composition such as reduced lean body mass (muscle), increased total and visceral fat, and decreased bone mass.  It also may reduce risk for developing metabolic diseases such as diabetes.  It also is reported to increase physical performance, benefit sleep, and enhance quality of life. Unlike gene recombinant hGH (rhGH), sermorelin is less likely to raise serum hGH to unsafe levels because its activity is regulated by negative feedback mechanisms.  Thus, sermorelin simulates more physiologic control over hGH and thereby reduces safety concerns associated with rhGH overdosing.
