Tesamorelin

Tesamorelin is a synthetic analogue of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) that stimulates the release of human growth hormone (HGH). FDA-approved for body fat redistribution syndrome, Tesamorelin has shown powerful effects on fat loss, muscle preservation, nerve regeneration, and cognitive enhancement.

It is not a steroid and does not affect testosterone levels.

Benefits

  • Reduces adipose fat tissue (especially in the abdomen and upper back)
  • Targets visceral fat around internal organs (liver, stomach, intestines)
  • Preserves and increases lean muscle mass
  • Boosts metabolism and energy output
  • Improves insulin sensitivity
  • Reduces cholesterol and triglycerides
  • Supports nerve regeneration after injury
  • Increases neurotransmitters tied to cognitive performance

Possible Side Effects

  • Injection site irritation (redness, swelling, itching)
  • Muscle aches and pain
  • Headache
  • Nausea
  • Diarrhea
  • Sweating

Rare but More Serious Side Effects

  • Diarrhea with fever and dehydration
  • Shortness of breath
  • Joint or muscle pain
  • Numbness or tingling in the extremities
  • May increase risk of Type-2 diabetes

Contraindications

Do not use Tesamorelin if:

  • You’ve had pituitary tumors or surgery
  • You have an active malignancy
  • You’re allergic to mannitol
  • You’re pregnant or breastfeeding
  • You’ve had hypothalamic-pituitary axis disruption
  • You have a diagnosed pituitary disorder

Stacking Suggestions

Tesamorelin stacks extremely well with other fat-burning and GH-boosting peptides:

  • AOD-9604 – Targeted fat burning, especially abdominal
  • CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin – Synergistic GH elevation for deeper fat loss and muscle growth
  • GHK-Cu – Tissue regeneration and skin improvement
  • MOTS-C – Boosts metabolic performance and ATP levels
  • SS-31 – Mitochondrial repair and enhanced nerve healing
  • L-Carnitine – Enhances fat metabolism during GH therapy

Fat loss stack: Tesamorelin + AOD-9604 + CJC-1295
Neuroregeneration stack: Tesamorelin + SS-31 + MOTS-C
Aesthetic stack: Tesamorelin + GHK-Cu + CJC-1295
