What it is, what people take it for, and what the research actually shows, in plain language.
Research stage: Human trials, one condition
What is Tesamorelin?
A growth-hormone-releasing hormone analog, available as a prescription medicine.
What do people take Tesamorelin for?
Visceral fat, body recomposition, anti-aging.
What does the research show about Tesamorelin?
In randomized trials of adults with HIV-associated abdominal fat, 15 to 20 percent less visceral fat over 6 to 12 months. That is the population it was studied in; it is heavily marketed well beyond it.
Is Tesamorelin right for me?
That depends on your history, your labs and your goals, which is a conversation for a physician rather than a web page. At Aether Medicine in King of Prussia, near Philadelphia, or by video for patients in Pennsylvania, a physician-led evaluation looks at all three to find out whether Tesamorelin, or something else, is right for you.
