Peptide Therapy
Sermorelin
Is a synthetic hormone peptide composed of 29 amino acids Is similar in structure to growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) Was approved by the FDA to treat children but many functional medicine doctors are using it to optimize growth hormone levels of adult patients Is best prescribed to be taken at least 30 minutes before or after consuming food. Is normally prescribed at night to maximize the body’s natural cycle of growth hormone and stimulate the pituitary gland during REM sleep.
How Does Sermorelin Work?
GHRP-2 and GHRP-6 are Growth Hormone Releasing Peptides that stimulate the pituitary gland’s natural production of endogenous human growth hormone. Sermorelin is an analogue growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH). Synergistic release of GH from the pituitary gland is initiated when Sermorelin is concurrently administered with a growth hormone releasing peptide (GHRP-6 or GHRP-2).
