Tesamorelin – The FDA-Approved Peptide for Fat Reduction

 Tesamorelin is a synthetic analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), primarily used to reduce visceral fat in HIV-associated lipodystrophy. It is one of the few peptides FDA-approved for fat loss and has potential applications in metabolic health.

How Tesamorelin Works

Tesamorelin binds to GHRH receptors in the pituitary gland, stimulating natural GH production. This leads to increased IGF-1 levels, which enhance fat metabolism and lean muscle preservation.

Key Benefits

• Reduces Visceral Fat – Clinically proven to decrease abdominal fat, making it beneficial for obesity and metabolic disorders.
• Improves Insulin Sensitivity – May help manage diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
• Enhances Cognitive Function – Some research suggests Tesamorelin could improve brain function in aging populations.

Tesamorelin is primarily used in medical settings, but its potential for general fat loss and longevity treatments is gaining interest.
