*As of November 2021, the Kentucky Board of Pharmacy no longer allows the prescribing of peptides. Unfortunately we cannot prescribe peptides at this time as we have in the past. An alternative option with similar results is Sermorelin, which is classified as a “Growth Hormone Secreting Hormone” rather than a peptide. Schedule a free consultation to see if you are a good candidate for Sermorelin therapy.

Sermorelin Therapy

 

Starting at around the age of 30, human growth hormone production starts declining for both men and women. Sermorelin therapy intends to replace this lost HGH with the use of a compound called Sermorelin acetate. Sermorelin is not HGH, it is a growth hormone secretagogues (GSHs) which is a class of molecules that stimulates the secretion of GH from the pituitary gland. Sermorelin therapy is a gradual anti-aging therapy that can take a few months before the effects start to become noticeable, although many patients experience positive health effects within just days or weeks of starting the therapy. Even if you have a small HGH deficiency, you will likely start noticing positive health effects soon after starting the treatment.

Many Health Benefits of Sermorelin

There are many benefits to restoring your HGH levels. The decline in human growth hormone levels is associated with several aging symptoms such as a lower energy level, lower libido, decreased muscle mass, increased body fat, a slower metabolism, aging skin signs, and more. These symptoms can be treated with Sermorelin therapy, and some of the health benefits are seen more quickly than others. For instance, it may take a while before skin elasticity and tone improves, but energy levels and libido can often improve much sooner. The changes in body composition can be substantial even if you don’t exercise, but if you do exercise you will get the most out of the treatment and may see very fast results.

While results may vary from patient to patient, clinical studies have shown that Sermorelin treatment can lead to a range of physical and mental benefits, such as:

  • Increased lean body mass

  • Fat reduction

  • Improved energy

  • Increased vitality

  • Increased strength

  • Increased endurance

  • Accelerated wound healing

  • Improved cardiovascular and immune function

  • Better sleep quality

  • Improved bone density

  • Improved skin quality and higher collagen density

Sermorelin Improves Your Exercise Performance

One of the most beneficial Sermorelin results is that it can greatly improve your exercise performance by helping you recover more quickly and by putting on muscle faster than before. Sermorelin can restore your HGH levels so that exercise is easier and you have more energy to get through more strenuous workouts. It can take longer for the treatment to improve exercise performance, but the effect does occur, and it can usually be seen within three to six months after starting the treatment.

Sermorelin Increases Muscle Strength

Your body composition gets more and more difficult to change as you start to age. This occurs partially as the result of a lower HGH production, as well as the long term effects of carrying excess fat, which can change your body’s chemistry and metabolism which make it more difficult to lose weight. Sermorelin can help you lose weight by improving fat metabolism. When your body produces HGH, it starts burning adipose tissue for energy, and the treatment can improve a slow metabolism. Several studies have found a correlation between increased HGH production and the burning of visceral fat, and patients who are exercising while taking Sermorelin see a much faster gain in muscle mass than they would without the therapy. The changes in body composition occur more gradually without exercise, and with regular exercise, they can be dramatic and occur within a matter of weeks.

It Can Improve Your Heart Health And Bone Mineral Density

There are some studies that suggest that a human growth hormone deficiency is associated with a higher risk of heart disorders, and Sermorelin may help protect against heart diseases and cardiovascular problems by restoring normal HGH levels. For example, supplementation with HGH has proven to be effective at improving symptoms for patients who are suffering from congestive heart failure. Many patients who develop heart disease and other heart disorders also suffer from a decline in HGH production which can be corrected with Sermorelin therapy. Another major health benefit of the treatment is that bone density can increase back to youthful levels, and this is very important for preventing debilitating injuries as a person ages along with bone and joint disorders.

Sermorelin Can Improve Your Mood And Libido

A decline in HGH is often associated with mood disorders and a low libido because lower hormone levels can be associated with decreased energy levels. Restoring normal human growth hormone levels can provide a boost in energy and improve mood, and this can be helpful for treating mood disorders like anxiety and depression. A decreased libido is also associated with a decline in testosterone and estrogen production, but restoring normal HGH levels has been shown to improve libido for both men and women. Patients also often experience an overall general feeling of well-being as the result of the treatment, even for patients who do not have any mood disorders or a low libido.

Sermorelin Is Best Taken For Several Months Consecutively

You may see some of the quicker results mentioned above within a few weeks of time, but to see real results with the therapy you need to continue it for at least three to six months. There is no reason why you can’t take Sermorelin for up to twelve months or even longer because it is a safe treatment and there is no indication that there are any long term negative health effects from it. To see some of the results like improved skin quality, a more youthful body composition, higher bone density, improved sleep quality and more, you may need to use the therapy for a long period of time, but after you have used it for several months in a row, the higher level of HGH production often maintains itself for several months and you may be able to stop the therapy for a period of time.
