Tesamorelin is a synthetic peptide hormone that acts as a growth hormone-releasing factor (GHRF). This means that it stimulates the pituitary gland to release the growth hormone into the bloodstream.
On the other hand, the human growth hormone is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland located at the base of the brain. Its primary role is to spur muscle growth, boost metabolism, support cell repair, and promote fat loss, among other benefits.
Low levels of the growth hormone, for instance, are linked to higher amounts of belly fat. Tesamorelin is one of the most significant growth hormones stimulating peptides available.
Tesamorelin was approved by the FDA in November 2010 as a drug to reduce fat accumulation in people with HIV. This is because HIV medication was seen to increase fat in certain body parts, particularly the belly and back areas.
Although used to decrease fat in the body, Tesamorelin is not a fat loss drug, but rather, it is a human growth hormone-releasing factor analog. Its ability to target fat loss in particular areas such as the belly makes it attractive to bodybuilders and other fitness enthusiasts.
As mentioned, Tesamorelin is a synthetic version of the human growth releasing hormone, which is naturally produced in the hypothalamus. Once the Tesamorelin peptide is injected into the body, it stimulates the pituitary gland to release the growth hormone into the bloodstream.
The growth hormone then goes to work to boost metabolism, leading to better fat utilization and, therefore, reducing abdominal fat. It also increases protein production and increases energy levels. This can lead to bigger muscle growth and enhanced endurance.
The growth hormone (GH) is required for various vital processes in the body. It supports metabolism; the process by which the food we eat is turned into energy in the body. GH also increases muscle mass, strength, and reduces body fat.
As we age, our growth hormone levels start to decline, sometimes as early as the age of 30. This can result in fatigue, slower recovery times, fat increase particularly in the belly and muscle mass loss. Similarly, low GH levels can lead to depression and loss of libido. Increased production of this crucial hormone can reverse most of these effects.
Although peptides are considered generally safe, you should be aware that Tesamorelin can cause some side effects. If you are taking other medication, you should consult a doctor before taking this peptide as it is known to interact with certain medications. Similarly, pregnant women and those with diabetes should not take Tesamorelin. Some of the side effects to look out for are:
- Muscle pain
- Swelling or redness at the injection site
- Headaches
- Nausea
- Itching
- Vomiting
- Night sweats
Tesamorelin is sold in powder form and must be mixed with water (reconstituted) before use. Similar to other peptides, Tesamorelin is highly fragile and must be gently mixed with sterilized water. Once reconstituted, it should be stored in the refrigerator and used within the recommended period.
This drug is administered subcutaneously through injection. Your physician should advise you on a safe dose depending on your needs, but a dose of 2mg once a day is standard. If you are using it as a bodybuilding and fat loss aid, you may get better results by combining it with a good diet and strength workout regime.
