Overview

Tesamorelin is a synthetic analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), used in research for its ability to stimulate the body’s natural production of growth hormone (GH). It is most studied for reducing visceral adipose tissue (belly fat) in individuals with lipodystrophy and has shown promise in improving body composition, metabolism, and cognitive function in aging individuals. Tesamorelin promotes lean muscle retention while reducing deep abdominal fat, making it of interest in fat redistribution disorders and metabolic dysfunction.

Key Benefits / Research Highlights

• Stimulates natural growth hormone (GH) production
• Reduces visceral (deep abdominal) fat stores
• Helps preserve lean muscle mass during fat loss
• May improve metabolic markers and lipid profiles
• Potential benefits in cognitive aging and memory retention
• Supports overall anti-aging and cellular repair processes
