The Benefits and Effects of Sermorelin and Tesamorelin
In this episode of we explore two FDA-approved peptides—Sermorelin and Tesamorelin—that stimulate the body’s own production of human growth hormone (HGH). Unlike direct HGH supplementation, these compounds work by mimicking natural growth hormone-releasing hormones (GHRH), helping restore HGH levels that naturally decline with age. We explain the biology behind these peptides, their clinical applications in the longevity and healthspan space, and how they’re distinct from controversial or unsafe hormone use. We discuss key lab markers like IGF-1 and prolactin to monitor treatment effectiveness, and emphasizes the importance of working with a qualified healthcare provider to ensure safe and personalized use. This episode provides critical insights for those interested in biohacking, healthy aging, and natural hormone regulation, while addressing risks such as pituitary tumors and the importance of proper medical oversight.
