Tesamorelin
Targets visceral adipose tissue reduction
Key Research Areas
Researched for visceral fat reduction
Stimulates natural GH production
Studied for metabolic health improvements
What is Tesamorelin?
Tesamorelin is a synthetic form of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) consisting of 44 amino acids. It was originally developed for HIV-associated lipodystrophy.
What It's Used For
Primary research focus is on visceral fat reduction, metabolic health optimization, and maintaining muscle mass during fat loss. Often studied in metabolic syndrome research.
How It Works (Mechanisms Explained)
Works by stimulating the pituitary to release endogenous growth hormone, which then promotes lipolysis (fat breakdown) particularly in visceral adipose tissue, while supporting protein synthesis.
Common Research Stacks
Sometimes combined with metabolic support compounds or used alongside dietary interventions in research settings. Less commonly stacked than other GH peptides.
Common Beginner Mistakes
Expecting rapid results (fat loss is gradual), improper injection technique, not maintaining consistent administration schedule, and neglecting dietary factors in research protocols.
Reconstitution Basics
Requires careful reconstitution with bacteriostatic water. Typically administered daily. Must be stored refrigerated after mixing and used within recommended timeframe.
