What is tesamorelin good for?

Its proven use is cutting deep belly fat in people with HIV who have abnormal fat buildup, backed by studies with more than 800 people in total. It is also being studied in older adults for thinking and memory, since the growth hormone signal it copies may be linked to brain aging. That research is newer and separate from the approved fat-loss use. Claims about building muscle or general anti-aging go beyond what has been measured.
