Sermorelin

Stimulate Your Own Growth Hormone Naturally — Sleep Better, Recover Faster, Age Better

$395  · Comprehensive lab panel & initial appointment $199 / month  · Includes medication, provider visits, and labs

Who It's For

Sermorelin may be appropriate if you are experiencing:

Growth hormone production peaks in your 20s and declines steadily with age. Sermorelin works with your body's own regulatory systems rather than introducing exogenous growth hormone directly.

How It Works

Monthly program includes medication, provider visits, and labs.

Sermorelin is a synthetic analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). When administered, it signals the pituitary gland to release growth hormone in a pulsatile, physiologic pattern — mimicking how your body naturally produces it. This approach supports natural GH production rather than replacing it, preserves pituitary function over time, and is administered as a small subcutaneous injection, typically at night.

What to Expect

Sermorelin is a gradual therapy. Most patients notice improvements in sleep quality within the first few weeks. Energy, body composition, and recovery improvements typically develop over 3–6 months. This is a long-term investment in how your body ages — not a rapid transformation.

Safety & Side Effects

Sermorelin is generally well tolerated. Common considerations include injection site reactions (mild and temporary), occasional water retention, and vivid dreams in some patients. Not appropriate for active malignancy.

Frequently Asked Questions

HGH injections introduce synthetic growth hormone directly into the body, bypassing your pituitary's regulatory system. Sermorelin stimulates your own pituitary to produce GH naturally.
Sermorelin is administered as a small subcutaneous injection, typically in the abdomen, given at bedtime to align with the body's natural GH release pattern.
Sleep improvements are often the first change, sometimes within the first 1–3 weeks. More significant body composition and energy improvements typically develop over 3–6 months.

Side Effects
