Sermorelin acetate therapy consists of daily injections of Sermorelin Acetate growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) to stimulate the pituitary gland's increased natural production of the body's own endogenous human growth hormone (HGH).

Sermorelin acetate is a biological active analog of growth hormone releasing factor (GRF 1-44) which is a growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) that is naturally produced by the human brain to stimulate production and secretion of human growth hormone by the pituitary gland.

Sermorelin Acetate growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) stimulates the pituitary gland by binding to specific receptors to increase the production and secretion of endogenous growth hormone (HGH).

The increase in the body’s growth hormone produced by the pituitary gland in response to Sermorelin Acetate growth hormone releasing hormone therapy has an anabolic effect on the tissues of the body and other benefits identified below.

This therapy consists of daily injections of Sermorelin acetate which stimulates the pituitary gland to produce increased natural secretion of human growth hormone. The approved medical use for this prescription drug is to increase growth hormone levels in children who have growth hormone deficiency. The medical use of Sermorelin Acetate growth hormone releasing hormone for adults deficient in human growth hormone is an unlabeled medical use of the drug to obtain the treatment benefits described below. Although not specifically approved for increasing growth hormone levels in adults, prescribing Sermorelin Acetate for adults who have growth hormone deficiency is legally permissible and within the discretion of the treating physician. Since Sermorelin acetate is approved as safe for use in children to increase their production of growth hormone, it is considered safe for use in increasing the natural production of growth hormone in adults deficient in growth hormone.

Benefits of increased amounts of growth hormone in the body as a result of Sermorelin growth hormone releasing hormone include the following:


SERMORELIN ACEATATE GHRH ADULT THERAPY BENEFITS
  • Increases the development of lean body mass through the development of new muscle cells
  • Reduces body fat through lipolysis
  • Increases energy and vitality
  • Increases strength
  • Increases endurance
  • Accelerates healing from wounds or surgery
  • Strengthens the heart
  • Enhances the immune system
  • Increases IGF-1 production
  • Improves sleep quality
  • Increases calcium retention, and strengthens and increases the mineralization of bone or bone density.
  • Increases protein synthesis and stimulates the growth of all internal organs except the brain.
  • Plays a role in fuel homeostasis.
  • Reduces liver uptake of glucose, an effect that opposes that of insulin.
  • Promotes liver glucogenesis.
  • Contributes to the maintenance and function of pancreatic islets.
Sermorelin Acetate growth hormone releasing hormone therapy is considered one medical means of reversing the effects of aging in adults deficient in growth hormone because of the benefits resulting from the increased stimulation and secretion of human growth hormone by the pituitary gland.
