A peptide that encourages your pituitary gland to release more of your own growth hormone.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
01 / OVERVIEW
Sermorelin is a shortened version of growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH), the natural signal from the brain that tells the pituitary gland to release growth hormone. It was once FDA-approved to evaluate and treat growth-hormone deficiency in children.
02 / MECHANISM
Instead of supplying growth hormone directly, sermorelin stimulates the pituitary to release it in the body's natural pulses. Because the body's own feedback loops stay in place, the effect is generally gentler than taking growth hormone itself.
03 / EVIDENCE
Sermorelin has been studied as an approach to age-related decline in growth hormone, with reported improvements in markers such as IGF-1. Claims about energy, sleep, body composition, and recovery come largely from small studies and clinical experience; large, long-term trials in healthy adults are lacking.

QUESTIONS
No. Sermorelin prompts your body to release its own growth hormone; it does not replace it.
Your provider may check IGF-1 and other labs and track how you feel over several months.
No. Sermorelin is a peptide that acts on the pituitary gland, not an anabolic steroid.
