Growth hormone secretagogue
CompoundedSermorelin peptide, prescribed online
Sermorelin is a peptide that stimulates your own pituitary to release growth hormone — it is not growth hormone itself. It is prescribed for recovery, lean mass support, sleep quality and body composition, typically as a nightly subcutaneous injection. On FaroRx it starts at $169 per month under provider supervision.

What is Sermorelin?
Sermorelin is a bioidentical analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). Rather than injecting growth hormone itself, sermorelin signals your pituitary gland to produce and release more of your own — a more physiologic, pulsatile pattern with a wider safety margin.
Dosing
A small subcutaneous injection nightly, usually before bed to align with the body’s natural GH pulse. Your provider sets the dose and reviews IGF-1 response over time.

How Sermorelin works
Your own growth hormone
Sermorelin stimulates the pituitary to release GH in natural pulses.
Recovery & repair
Higher GH and IGF-1 levels support tissue repair after training.
Sleep & body composition
Patients commonly report deeper sleep and gradual improvements in lean-to-fat ratio.
Side effects, honestly
Every medication has tradeoffs. Here's what to know before you start — your provider reviews your full history before prescribing.
- Mild injection-site redness or soreness
- Occasional flushing or headache early on
- Water retention is uncommon at prescribed doses

Sermorelin questions
What is sermorelin?
A peptide analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) that stimulates your pituitary to produce more of your own growth hormone. It is prescribed for recovery, lean mass, sleep and age-related GH decline.
Sermorelin vs HGH — what is the difference?
HGH injects the hormone directly; sermorelin prompts your body to release its own in natural pulses. Sermorelin is generally cheaper, considered to have a wider safety margin, and avoids shutting down your own production.
Sermorelin before and after — what results are realistic?
Most patients report better sleep and recovery within the first month. Body composition changes are gradual — expect 3 to 6 months of consistent use for visible lean mass and fat changes. It supports training; it does not replace it.
What is the right sermorelin dosage?
Dosing is individualized, commonly a nightly subcutaneous microgram-range dose taken before bed. Your provider sets it and adjusts based on your response and, where relevant, IGF-1 labs.
Is sermorelin safe?
It has been used clinically for decades and is generally well tolerated. The most common issues are mild injection-site reactions. It is not appropriate for patients with active cancer — your provider screens your history.
How much does sermorelin cost?
On FaroRx, sermorelin starts at $169 per month including provider oversight, supplies and shipping — significantly less than clinic-based HGH programs.
Is sermorelin legal?
Yes, with a prescription. It is a compounded peptide prepared by licensed U.S. pharmacies after a provider review.
