Common questions

Sermorelin, answered plainly.

01What is Sermorelin?+

A synthetic peptide corresponding to the first 29 amino acids of growth-hormone-releasing hormone that binds pituitary GHRH receptors to stimulate endogenous growth hormone secretion. Previously marketed (Geref) and used in diagnostic testing. It is also referred to as Geref, GHRH 1-29. It is listed here under Growth Hormone as educational reference, which is not a recommendation to use it.

02Is Sermorelin FDA approved?+

Not FDA approved. The FDA has not approved this substance for human use. It may be approved elsewhere, studied in the literature, or available through other routes, but it carries no approved US label and therefore no agency-reviewed instructions.

03What is the half-life of Sermorelin?+

~10-20 min (reported ~12 min), subcutaneous. A half-life is an educational pharmacology figure describing how long the body takes to clear half of a substance. It is not a schedule and does not imply one.

04How is Sermorelin stored and handled?+

Supplied lyophilized; reconstitute before use, refrigerate and protect from light. Storage conditions come from a manufacturer's own label where one exists, and a compound with no approved label has no agency-reviewed handling instructions at all.

05What vial strengths of Sermorelin are commonly sold?+

Commonly listed vial strengths are 5, 10 mg. A vial strength is a market fact about how a product is packaged. It is not a dose, and it says nothing about how much of anything belongs in any person.
