Tesamorelin Best for: growth-hormone axis stimulation for visceral fat reduction (off-label extended to lean-mass and body-composition goals) Tesamorelin is a synthetic analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), a 44-amino-acid peptide modified with a trans-3-hexenoic acid group that resists enzymatic breakdown
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, which are the same building blocks that make up proteins
01 Fat Reduction Supports research focused on reducing excess and visceral fat
The peptide enters the bloodstream directly, bypassing the digestive system
