Quick Summary
GHRH analog — stimulates natural growth hormone release for visceral fat reduction
Also called: Egrifta, TH9507
What is Tesamorelin?
Tesamorelin is a 44-amino acid synthetic analogue of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) that stimulates the pituitary gland to produce and release growth hormone in a pulsatile, physiological manner. It is the only FDA-approved treatment for HIV-associated lipodystrophy (excess visceral abdominal fat). Unlike exogenous HGH, tesamorelin preserves the body's natural GH feedback mechanisms and circadian rhythms, making it a more physiological approach to GH optimization.
How It's Made
Tesamorelin is produced via solid-phase peptide synthesis as a modified GHRH(1-44) analogue with a trans-3-hexenoic acid group attached to the tyrosine at position 1, which increases its stability and half-life compared to native GHRH.
