Does Sermorelin Work?

What is hGH?

The purpose of Sermorelin is to stimulate the release of Human Growth Hormone. To understand Sermorelin’s effects, you’ll need to understand why hGH is a crucial hormone for healing and repair, energy, sleep, and more.

HGH is the hormone responsible for growth and development. Levels naturally peak in adolescence and decrease as we move into adulthood.

By the time we’ve reached 55 years of age, levels are typically just one-tenth of what they were during puberty.

In addition to child and adolescent development, hGH is responsible for:

• Cell Regeneration and Repair: HGH plays a role in the repair of cells, tissues, and organs. It encourages cell regeneration for effective healing.
• Metabolism: HGH influences metabolism by promoting the breakdown and conversion of fats into energy. It also helps maintain stable blood sugar levels.
• Muscle Growth and Strength: HGH contributes to the growth and development of muscle tissue.
• Bone Health: HGH plays a role in bone mineralization and maintenance of bone density. It helps ensure proper bone growth during childhood and adolescence and continues to support bone health throughout life.
• Immune System Function: HGH helps regulate immune system function. It promotes the production of immune cells and enhances the body’s ability to fight infections and diseases.
• Brain Function: HGH appears to influence cognitive functions, mood regulation, and overall brain health.
• Cardiovascular Health: HGH is involved in maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system by supporting blood vessel integrity and influencing factors that contribute to heart health.

When hGH levels decrease, it can cause symptoms like insomnia, slowed healing and recovery, loss of muscle mass, fat gain, and others. Many symptoms of age-related hGH deficiency are considered to be signs of aging.

Does Sermorelin Work?

Sermorelin has shown to be effective at boosting hGH levels when taken regularly under the guidance of a medical provider.

A recent review of scientific literature found that medications like Sermorelin were effective at reducing the death of cells, enhancing antioxidant defenses, reducing inflammation, and other positive effects.

This literature review also found that secretagogues like Sermorelin have a strong safety profile, meaning they exhibit limited side effects in most clinical studies.

Another review of literature found that Growth Hormone Restoration can improve body composition by decreasing fat stores and increasing muscle mass.

A study involving young and elderly men administered hGH at various doses found that Growth Hormone Restoration helps to reverse age-related decreases in hGH and Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF-1). These results suggest GHRP can have positive improvements in body composition and other age-related issues.

While this study administered recombinant growth hormone (meaning it’s of biological origins), modern Growth Hormone Restoration utilizes secretagogues to avoid issues associated with taking hGH directly.
