Sermorelin acetate is a synthetic analog of growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH)—a peptide that stimulates the pituitary gland to produce and release endogenous human growth hormone (HGH). It’s typically used in anti-aging and hormone replacement therapy settings, though its primary FDA approval is for treating growth hormone deficiency in children.
Potential Health Benefits of Sermorelin:
Increased natural HGH production (stimulates your body to make its own, rather than supplying synthetic HGH)
Improved sleep quality
Enhanced recovery from exercise and injury
Increased lean muscle mass and reduced body fat
Improved skin elasticity and overall appearance
Increased energy and mental clarity
Support for healthy metabolism and bone density
Because sermorelin encourages natural hormone rhythms, it may carry fewer risks than direct HGH therapy, particularly regarding long-term endocrine suppression.
Note: While sermorelin is popular in integrative and wellness clinics, its use in adults is off-label, and benefits are based more on clinical observation and small studies than large-scale FDA trials. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before starting peptide therapy.
