Tesamorelin is a synthetic GHRH analog approved by the FDA for the treatment of HIV-associated lipodystrophy, known for its efficacy in reducing abdominal visceral fat. It stimulates the pituitary to release GH in a pulsatile manner, with potency superior to CJC-1295. It is the only secretagogue with robust clinical evidence for visceral fat reduction and improvement of hepatic markers in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Tesamorelin is a synthetic GHRH analog studied for its ability to stimulate the pituitary to release growth hormone in a pulsatile pattern, with potency reported as superior to CJC-1295. In research models, the resulting GH and IGF-1 rise drives selective abdominal visceral fat reduction. It is supplied strictly for laboratory research use only.
Reconstituting 10 mg in 2 mL of bacteriostatic water (200 IU) yields 5 mg/mL, equal to 50 mcg per IU. A 1 mg draw is 20 IU (0.20 mL) and the 2 mg FDA-standard draw is 40 IU (0.40 mL). The universal formula is IU = (dose in mg ÷ 5) × 100.
Tesamorelin is reported as more potent than CJC-1295 and is the only secretagogue with robust clinical evidence specifically for visceral fat reduction and improved hepatic markers in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Because it acts on the same GHRH receptors, it should not be stacked with CJC-1295 or Sermorelin, as the combination is redundant.
After reconstitution, label the vial with the date and refrigerate it at 2–8 °C, where it remains stable for 28 days. The bacteriostatic water should only be chilled for 3 minutes before reconstitution, never used very cold, to avoid freezing or degrading the peptide.
