What is sermorelin used for?

Its approved use was diagnosing and treating growth hormone deficiency, confirmed by measuring whether it triggers a normal growth hormone response. Outside that history, it is used off label and in research settings for its effect on the growth hormone and IGF-1 axis, often discussed alongside compounds like ipamorelin and CJC-1295 in body composition research, though sermorelin itself has only one human citation in this site's own review of its evidence.

Part of growth hormone secretagogues. Sermorelin, tesamorelin, ipamorelin, CJC-1295, and the rest of the GHRH and ghrelin receptor family.
