Information for Tesamorelin
Tesamorelin is a synthetic analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), developed with modifications that improve its half-life.1 Considered a growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) — along with GHRP-2, sermorelin, and ipamorelin — tesamorelin promotes the release of growth hormone (GH).
