Sermorelin is a synthetic peptide that is used as a growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog. It is primarily used in medical settings to stimulate the production and release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland.
Sermorelin works by binding to specific receptors in the pituitary gland, which then triggers the release of growth hormone into the bloodstream. This increase in growth hormone levels can have various effects on the body, including promoting growth and development, increasing muscle mass, reducing body fat, improving sleep quality, enhancing immune function, and boosting energy levels.
Unlike exogenous growth hormone administration, which directly introduces growth hormone into the body, sermorelin stimulates the body's natural production of growth hormone. This approach is believed to be safer and more physiologically balanced, as it mimics the body's natural regulatory mechanisms.
Sermorelin is typically administered through subcutaneous injections and is often used in the treatment of growth hormone deficiency in children and adults. It may also be used off-label for anti-aging purposes or to enhance athletic performance, although the efficacy and safety of such uses are still under investigation.
