Tesamorelin
44-amino-acid GHRH analogue — the only GH secretagogue peptide with an FDA approval (as Egrifta, for HIV-associated lipodystrophy).
01 · What is Tesamorelin?
Tesamorelin is a 44-amino-acid analogue of growth hormone-releasing hormone that stimulates endogenous GH secretion. It is FDA-approved under the name Egrifta for reduction of excess visceral fat in HIV-associated lipodystrophy — Phase III trials demonstrated significant visceral adipose tissue reduction versus placebo. Research-grade tesamorelin sold by peptide vendors is a laboratory reagent, not the pharmaceutical product.
Sizes currently sold by tracked vendors: 100mg, 10mg, 11.99mg, 1mg, 200mg, 20MG, 20mg, 2mg, 50mg, 5MG, 5mg.

What is Tesamorelin?
Tesamorelin is a 44-amino-acid analogue of growth hormone-releasing hormone that stimulates endogenous GH secretion. It is FDA-approved under the name Egrifta for reduction of excess visceral fat in HIV-associated lipodystrophy — Phase III trials demonstrated significant visceral adipose tissue reduction versus placebo.
Is Tesamorelin FDA approved?
Yes — as Egrifta, specifically for HIV-associated lipodystrophy (excess visceral fat). The research-grade tesamorelin sold by vendors is not the pharmaceutical product and is not subject to pharmaceutical manufacturing controls.

What is Egrifta?
Egrifta is the brand name for pharmaceutical tesamorelin, FDA-approved in 2010 for reduction of excess abdominal fat in HIV-infected patients with lipodystrophy. It is manufactured under pharmaceutical GMP controls — research-grade tesamorelin vials are a different product class with no pharmaceutical guarantees.
