Growth Hormone

Sermorelin

The original 1-29 amino-acid fragment of GHRH; researched for restoring pulsatile growth-hormone secretion via direct hypothalamic-pituitary axis stimulation.

Also known as: GHRH(1-29)

Research consideration: Very short plasma half-life (~12 min) — dose-effect is acute and pre-sleep timing is conventional.

Frequently asked questions about Sermorelin

What is the typical research dose range for Sermorelin?
Sermorelin is most commonly investigated at 100 mcg–300 mcg per administration, daily. Note: typically administered pre-sleep. These values reflect documented research-stage protocols and are not medical recommendations.
What is the half-life of Sermorelin?
Sermorelin has an approximate plasma half-life of 0.2 hours. Practical steady state is reached after roughly five half-lives — about 0 days under continuous administration.
How is Sermorelin administered in research protocols?
Published research uses subq administration. Typical reconstitution is 5 mg vial in 2 mL of bacteriostatic water, producing a concentration of 2500 mcg/mL.
What vial sizes are commonly available for Sermorelin?
Common stocked vial sizes are 5 mg, 10 mg. The 5 mg vial is the most-used default in published protocols.
Anything important to know about Sermorelin before designing a protocol?
Very short plasma half-life (~12 min) — dose-effect is acute and pre-sleep timing is conventional.
