About Tesamorelin
Tesamorelin is a synthetic peptide that has been studied for its role in stimulating pathways associated with growth hormone release. Research has explored its potential applications in areas such as metabolic regulation cellular signaling and mechanisms related to tissue composition and maintenance. Its properties have made it a focus of interest in studies involving physiological and biochemical processes.

Tesamorelin Research
1. Clinical Overview
Tesamorelin is a laboratory-made version of a natural hormone that encourages the body to release growth hormone. It is administered as a daily injection under the skin with a standard dosage of 2mg. The drug may also increase natural growth hormone levels and reduce deep belly fat (visceral fat).
Tesamorelin was developed for people with H.I.V. who develop additional abdominal fat because of their antiretroviral drugs. In large clinical studies, it did reliably reduce visceral fat, and it has been officially approved for that purpose. New England Journal of Medicine+1
2. Key Human Findings
Tesamorelin were tested in two major clinical trials of HIV patients taking antiretroviral therapy (ART) with excess abdominal fat. Each test ran for 26 weeks, with an additional 26 weeks of safety checks. When measured, Tesamorelin decreased deep belly fat (visceral fat) by a ratio of about 15–20% versus a placebo. Waist size, as well how patients felt about their body shape, also got better.
When patients were treated for up to 52 weeks, the reduction in fat was sustained. But the fat returned slowly when they stopped taking Tesamorelin. The typical dose for these studies was 2 mg administered as a subcutaneous injection once a day PubMed+2PubMed+2
A later study in people with HIV found that Tesamorelin also helped reduce some liver fat and improve liver health markers in those showing signs of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Overall, Tesamorelin’s main benefit is reducing harmful deep belly fat (visceral fat), not causing general weight loss. JAMA Network+1
3. Safety & Metabolic Effects
Tesamorelin was well tolerated in clinical trials. (the most common side effects were mild skin reactions at the injection site.) A slight elevation of IGF-1 was noted and to be taken as normal. Doctors advise checking blood sugar because some patients experienced temporary spikes in fasting glucose or mild glucose intolerance, even though most studies didn’t find serious long-term problems.
Longer-term use (up to 52 weeks) found that Tesamorelin had a continued effect on deep belly fat (VAT), without major side effects, though usually the fat came back once treatment was discontinued. Regulators recommend monitoring for high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) and not using it in people with active cancer. FDA Access Data+2NATAP+2
4. Overview
The standard clinical dose in the trials is 2 mg subcutaneously daily. Tesamorelin reduces visceral (abdominal) fat significantly in HIV-infected patients with lipodystrophy and may improve body shape and related quality-of-life measures during the treatment continuation. Liver fat and metabolic parameters modestly respond in a variable manner. Safety monitoring should include blood glucose measurement, and the benefits generally disappear after treatment is discontinued, so it is a treatment for on-therapy management of excess visceral fat rather than a permanent cure.

What are typical delivery times?
What are typical delivery times?
Delivery for our free shipping option typically takes 3-5 business days. We ship from right here in the USA to all US addresses. We also provide an option for next day shipping for an extra charge. Please allow 24 hours for processing.
Every package comes with professional packaging, tracking updates via email, and does not require a signature upon delivery.
How should these compounds be stored?
How should these compounds be stored?
Our peptides are shipping in lyophilized form, which is stable at room temperature during transit. Once received, store unopened vials in a cool, dry place.
Are products stable during shipping?
Are products stable during shipping?
Our peptides are shipped in lyophilized (freeze-dried) form, which ensures stability during transit. This powder form is highly stable at room temperature and resistant to temperature fluctuations that occur during shipping.
Research has shown no significant degradation or loss of purity when lyophilized peptides are exposed to room temperature during typical shipping timeframes. Each batch is verified for purity upon production, and our stability testing confirms maintenance of product integrity during standard shipping conditions.
