How Tesamorelin works, and what the research shows.
Tesamorelin is a GHRH analog FDA-studied specifically for visceral fat reduction.
It's the only growth hormone releasing peptide with clinical trial data showing significant reduction in dangerous abdominal fat.
Tesamorelin has the strongest human evidence of any GHRH analog: it is FDA-approved (Egrifta) for excess abdominal fat in HIV-associated lipodystrophy, where phase 3 trials showed roughly 15–18% reductions in visceral adipose tissue over 26 weeks.
Falutz et al., N Engl J Med 2007; and subsequent randomized trialsUse outside that indication — including general body-composition protocols — is off-label and decided by the prescribing physician.
