Is Geref the same as sermorelin?
Geref is the old, discontinued brand name for sermorelin. It is the same GHRH 1-29 molecule this site's profile lists as Geref, GHRH 1-29, and GRF 1-29. Geref was FDA approved to diagnose and treat growth hormone deficiency, and it has since been taken off the market. Sermorelin's US legal line reads prior approval discontinued, available via compounding pharmacies. A research-chemical vial labeled sermorelin is not that old approved product. The molecule name can match. The finished medicine and the unlabeled vial are not the same product. This site does not rank brands. Full record at /compounds/sermorelin.
