Tesamorelin is a synthetic peptide that acts as a growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog. Its primary function is to stimulate the pituitary gland to produce and release more of the body's own natural growth hormone (GH), which in turn increases levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1).
- Visceral Fat Reduction: Tesamorelin is clinically proven to significantly decrease visceral fat, a type of fat that is difficult to target with diet and exercise alone.
- Improved Body Composition: In addition to fat loss, it helps preserve and increase lean muscle mass and improve muscle density.
- Enhanced Metabolic Health: It can improve lipid profiles by reducing triglycerides and cholesterol levels, and may enhance insulin sensitivity.
- Other Potential Benefits: Tesamorelin may also support brain health, improve sleep quality, and enhance recovery from physical activity, which are benefits often associated with healthy growth hormone levels.
