What is Tesamorelin?
Tesamorelin is a synthetic analogue of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) that is FDA-approved under the brand name Egrifta for the treatment of HIV-associated lipodystrophy. It stimulates the anterior pituitary to produce and release growth hormone by binding to GHRH receptors, resulting in elevated GH and IGF-1 levels and, in clinical studies, significant reductions in visceral adipose tissue. Tesamorelin has a transglutaminase modification at the N-terminus that extends its half-life compared to native GHRH.
VELTRIDE supplies Tesamorelin 2mg lyophilized powder at ≥98% HPLC-verified purity with Certificate of Analysis, shipped discreetly across Canada from West Kelowna, BC. As a clinically validated GHRH analogue, Tesamorelin is among the most credible peptides available for GH axis and metabolic research in Canada.
Research Highlights
- FDA-approved (Egrifta) — robust clinical safety and efficacy data available
- Significant visceral adipose tissue reduction in clinical and research models
- Elevates GH and IGF-1 — well-characterized GHRH receptor agonism
- Studied for cognitive benefits — IGF-1 elevation and hippocampal function
- Improves lipid profiles — triglycerides and HDL improvements in clinical data
- Potential applications in age-related GH decline and metabolic syndrome research
- Pairs synergistically with GHRPs like Ipamorelin for GH pulse amplification
Tesamorelin vs CJC-1295
Tesamorelin has FDA clinical validation that CJC-1295 DAC lacks, making it valuable for research requiring clinical reference data. CJC-1295 has a longer half-life due to DAC modification. Both pair well with GHRPs like Ipamorelin for amplified GH pulse research.
