What Is Sermorelin?
Sermorelin is a synthetic peptide analogue of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), consisting of the first 29 amino acids of the naturally occurring 44-amino-acid GHRH molecule. These 29 amino acids represent the biologically active fragment responsible for stimulating growth hormone (GH) secretion from the anterior pituitary gland. First developed in the 1980s, sermorelin was FDA-approved in 1997 under the brand name Geref for the diagnosis and treatment of growth hormone deficiency...
