A growth hormone-releasing peptide prescribed and monitored at home by a New York-licensed provider anywhere in Brooklyn, with honest answers on the evidence.
Sermorelin is a short version of the hormone that signals your body to release its own growth hormone. The brand-name product left the US market years ago, so today it comes only from compounding pharmacies. It is not FDA-approved for anti-aging.
Adults interested in growth hormone support whose provider thinks it is a reasonable option. It is not used during pregnancy or in people with active cancer.
Your provider reviews your history and labs first. Sermorelin is usually a nightly shot under the skin. You check in regularly so your provider can track how you feel and adjust the plan.
Every protocol is prescribed and monitored by a licensed provider.
Your protocol is chosen based on your health history and what you want to achieve.
No clinic visits. Your provider comes to you in Brooklyn.
Your provider asks what you hope sermorelin will do, and reviews your sleep, energy, weight and any history of cancer, diabetes or pituitary problems.
Blood can be drawn at home to check IGF-1, a marker of growth hormone activity, along with blood sugar and other labs your provider recommends.
Sermorelin is usually a small shot under the skin, often at bedtime. Your provider shows you how to mix the vial if needed, measure the dose and inject safely.
Follow-up visits look at how you feel, side effects and repeat labs. If it is not helping after a fair trial, your provider will tell you and stop it.
Redness, pain or swelling at the shot site, flushing, headache, dizziness and trouble sleeping are the most reported. They are usually mild.
Sermorelin is generally avoided in pregnancy, in people with active cancer and in people with untreated thyroid or pituitary problems. Extra care is needed with diabetes, since growth hormone can raise blood sugar.
The brand-name product left the U.S. market in 2008, so sermorelin today comes from licensed compounding pharmacies. Never use products sold online as “research only,” which are not made for people.
New York requires prescriptions to be sent to the pharmacy electronically. Your provider sends yours to a licensed pharmacy and explains how your vials will reach you.
Mixed sermorelin vials are usually kept in the refrigerator. In a small Brooklyn kitchen, keep them in the main body of the fridge rather than the door or the back wall, where items can freeze.
Because sermorelin is often taken at bedtime, a late home visit can be a good time for your first dose and injection lesson, so you learn in the same setting you will use.
Sermorelin raises growth hormone levels, and it was once used for children with growth problems. Studies in healthy adults are small and short, so benefits for energy, sleep or aging are not proven.
Redness or pain at the shot site, flushing, headache and dizziness are the most reported. Call your provider if anything feels off.
Sermorelin is banned in sports that follow anti-doping rules. If you compete in tested sports, tell your provider before starting.
