What is Tesamorelin?
Tesamorelin (Egrifta) is a lab-made version of a natural hormone (GHRH) that tells your pituitary gland to release growth hormone. It’s FDA-approved specifically to reduce excess abdominal fat in people with HIV-related fat redistribution, and it’s also widely used off-label for general belly fat reduction and body composition goals. It works by restoring more youthful, natural patterns of growth hormone release rather than overriding the body’s own hormone system.
Weight
Research targets include appetite regulation, fat metabolism, and body composition.
Growth
Research targets include growth hormone signaling, IGF-1 pathways, and tissue development.
Is Tesamorelin FDA approved?
Tesamorelin is FDA approved.
FDA Approved
Tesamorelin has been reviewed and approved by the FDA for safety and efficacy in its approved indications.
Regulated Manufacturing
Manufactured under FDA-regulated quality standards, ensuring consistent purity and dosing.
Prescription Use
Legally available by prescription for its approved medical indications.
How Does Tesamorelin Work?
It attaches to the same pituitary receptor as the natural hormone GHRH, prompting the release of growth hormone in its normal pulsing pattern. The resulting rise in growth hormone and the related growth factor IGF-1 helps break down fat, particularly the deeper visceral fat around organs, while preserving muscle.
Binds the GHRH receptor
Attaches to the same pituitary receptor as the natural hormone GHRH.
Triggers GH & IGF-1
Prompts the release of growth hormone and the related growth factor IGF-1.
Targets visceral fat
Helps break down deep visceral fat around organs while preserving muscle.
What Are the Benefits of Tesamorelin?
What research says it may help with, and how it works in the body.
weight loss
- This is an FDA-approved use, and clinical trials showed it reduced deep visceral fat by 15-20%.
- In clinical studies, people kept the weight off as long as they stayed on treatment for over a year.
- It works in a distinctive way, targeting the harmful deep belly fat around organs while leaving the fat just under the skin largely untouched.
metabolic
- Triglycerides, a type of fat in the blood, dropped by 12.3%.
- Cholesterol levels improved by 7.2%.
- Fat stored in the liver dropped by 37% after a year of use.
body composition
- It helps keep lean muscle intact even while the body is losing fat.
- Levels of IGF-1, a hormone tied to growth and tissue repair, rose by 26%.
