Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy
Have you Heard Of Sermoreilin
Potential Benefits of Sermorelin
Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone, called Sermorelin - may provide a superior product for endogenous production of hGH (your own body’s production of growth hormone). Unlike exogenous (injected) recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) that causes production of the bioactive hormone IGF-1 from the liver, sermorelin stimulates the patient’s own pituitary gland by binding to specific receptors to increase production and secretion of endogenous hGH.
An effective dosage of Sermorelin will help to increase lean muscle tissue, reduce bodyfat, and improve overall health and longevity.
Benefits of Sermorelin
•Increasing energy from fat breakdown
•Increases protein synthesis – increases lean muscle
•Increasing muscle mass through sarcomere hyperplasia (additional division of the contractile unit of a muscle)
•Decreases body fat and increases Lipolysis (fat burning)
•Strengthens immune system – reduces risk factors for age related diseases
•Strengthening of joints and connective tissue
•Increases bone density - Increases calcium retention
•Stimulates the growth of all internal organs to more a youthful state
•Improving cognitive abilities
Sermorelin versus synthetic HGH therapy
Lipodystrophy is a medical condition that defines the rapid accumulation of adipose tissue (body fat) usually unevenly distributed in certain areas of the body (legs, hips, stomach, lower back). In basic concept, lipodystrophy is very similar to the increase in body fat experienced as we age, accumulating unevenly in different areas of our body. The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) published a study in 2008 of the effects of tesamorelin, a peptide similar to Sermorelin, had on HIV positive men suffering from lipodystrophy.
The study concluded that patients provided the Sermorelin lost adipose (fat) and increased lean muscle, significantly improving total body composition. It was safer than using growth hormone since it did not cause diabetes or muscle/joint pain.
Conclusion: GHRH was well tolerated and effectively increased levels of IGF-1 in HIV-infected men with lipodystrophy.
Total and regional body composition improved in response to GHRH, with increased lean mass and reduced truncal and visceral fat. Use of GHRH may potentially be a beneficial treatment strategy for this population. JAMA. 2004;292:210-218
Dr Rand McClain in Santa Monica, CA and others have observed patients lose significant fat tissue using Sermorelin. But this process is slow and requires daily injections under the skin. Athletes have long used Sermorelin (GHrh) and similar peptides to decrease body fat and sustain lean muscle. In addition, Sermorelin (just like HGH) plays a significant role in exercise recovery.
