Overview

Tesamorelin is an FDA-approved GHRH analog originally developed for HIV-associated lipodystrophy. It stimulates your pituitary to release growth hormone in natural patterns, which then increases IGF-1. It's particularly effective at reducing visceral (belly) fat and improving body composition. It also shows cognitive benefits in some studies.
