Prescriptions require an online visit reviewed by a U.S.-licensed provider. Compounded medications are prepared by licensed U.S. pharmacies and are not FDA-approved. Individual results vary.
Who it’s for
- Recovering from injury, surgery, or chronic joint wear
- Want a clinician-supervised peptide course, not gray-market vials
- Comfortable with subcutaneous injections (most courses)
Most people find this one after the gym stopped giving back what it used to.
how it works
A growth-hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog that stimulates the pituitary to produce its own growth hormone — favored over exogenous HGH for its more physiologic profile.
What we can and can't tell you
Adult use is off-label and the data is limited, not definitive. The approval history is pediatric, and the branded product was withdrawn from commercial production — it is now available via compounding pharmacies. Response is modest and individual.
- Who makes it A LegitScript-verified 503A compounding pharmacy, from your prescription — never a gray-market or overseas supplier
- To what standard USP <797> sterile compounding and USP <800> hazardous-drug handling, where applicable
Compounded medications are not FDA-approved, are not reviewed by the FDA for safety or effectiveness, and are not generic equivalents of any brand-name drug.
what the first months look like
Dosed subcutaneously before bed, 5 nights a week, to work with your natural overnight GH pulse. This is a gradual endocrine nudge — set expectations for weeks, not the first night.
IGF-1 and body-composition changes are gradual, not overnight. Think months, not days — this is a slow endocrine nudge, not a switch.
The typical course length. Body-composition and recovery goals are measured here, with clinician review to decide whether to continue.
Courses are re-assessed at 3-6 months — dose, response, and whether to keep going are a clinician decision, not automatic.
Dosing, step by step
| Nightly | 200-500 mcg subcutaneous — before bed, to align with natural overnight GH release |
|---|---|
| Frequency | 5 nights per week — not every night — the schedule is intentional |
| Course | 3-6 months — with re-evaluation before continuing |
Your clinician sets the exact dose within the 200-500 mcg range and the course length. Timing before bed matters — it's built around your own GH rhythm.
And when it gets rough
- Injection-site reactions Rotate sites and use proper technique; most reactions are mild and settle. Flag persistent swelling or spreading redness to your clinician.
- Flushing Usually transient after dosing. Tell your clinician if it's marked or lasting.
- Headache or nausea Typically mild — hydration and consistency help. Persistent or worsening symptoms are a clinician call.
- Hypersensitivity reaction (rare) Stop and contact your clinician immediately for any rash, swelling, or breathing difficulty — this is not a wait-and-see symptom.
We tend to start people on sermorelin before reaching for anything that replaces growth hormone outright, because it works through the pituitary's own feedback loop instead of overriding it — your body keeps a say in how much it releases. It's a nightly injection tied to your sleep, and the shifts people notice — recovery, sleep, body composition — come in over months, not weeks. We watch blood sugar closely in anyone with insulin resistance, and we set expectations early: this is a patient, physiologic approach, not a switch you flip. If it isn't earning its place after a few months, we stop and reassess.
