Tesamorelin 10mg

Tesamorelin 10mg is a 10mg vial of Tesamorelin, a GHRH analog, supplied as freeze-dried powder. It’s intended for lab research only.

What is Tesamorelin?

Tesamorelin is the full 44-amino-acid growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) with a trans-3-hexenoyl group added to the front. That cap protects it from the enzyme DPP-4, so it lasts longer than natural GHRH.

Theratechnologies developed it, and the FDA approved it in 2010 as Egrifta for reducing excess abdominal fat in people with HIV-associated lipodystrophy.

How Tesamorelin acts in the lab

Tesamorelin binds the GHRH receptor and raises growth hormone and IGF-1. The hexenoyl group on the front end stops DPP-4 from cutting it, which makes it far more stable than natural GHRH.

Its best-documented effect is on visceral fat, the fat around the organs, which is what the Egrifta approval was based on.

What the research says about Tesamorelin

Falutz and colleagues reported in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2007 that 26 weeks of tesamorelin cut visceral fat by about 15% compared with placebo, while raising IGF-1.

Later studies looked at liver fat in people with HIV, where tesamorelin reduced liver fat and slowed fibrosis progression in a trial published in The Lancet HIV in 2019.

Tesamorelin compared with similar compounds

Here’s how Tesamorelin 10mg fits among related compounds. Tesamorelin is full-length GHRH with a fatty acid cap, the only GHRH analog currently approved as a drug in the US. By comparison:

• CJC-1295 No DAC is a stabilized GHRH(1-29) with a half-life of about 30 minutes, giving short, natural-looking pulses
• CJC-1295 DAC binds albumin and lasts about a week, giving a raised GH baseline instead of short pulses
• Sermorelin is the unmodified first 29 amino acids of GHRH, broken down within minutes
• Ipamorelin is the most selective ghrelin-receptor peptide, with little effect on cortisol or prolactin
• GHRP-6 releases GH and strongly raises appetite, the classic tool for feeding research

The GHRH analogs (CJC-1295, sermorelin, tesamorelin) all act on the same receptor, and the real difference is how long each one lasts. Ipamorelin, GHRP-2 and GHRP-6 work on the ghrelin receptor instead, which is why labs so often pair one from each side. See them all on our growth hormone peptides page.

Tesamorelin 10mg reconstitution and concentration

Here’s the math for 10mg of powder:

• 1mL of bacteriostatic water gives 10mg/mL
• 2mL of bacteriostatic water gives 5mg/mL
• 3mL of bacteriostatic water gives 3.33mg/mL

Choose the volume that suits your measurements. Mark the vial with the concentration and date so nobody has to guess later.

Most labs use sterile bacteriostatic water. We stock bacteriostatic water in 3mL, 10mL and 30mL sizes. Warm the sealed vial to room temperature, add the water slowly along the glass wall and swirl gently until it’s clear. Never shake it.

Tesamorelin 10mg storage and shelf life

Store sealed vials of Tesamorelin 10mg in the freezer at -20°C, out of direct light. Mixed solution goes in the fridge at 2 to 8°C and should be used within about 28 days.

Running several vials at once? Our 10 vial kit case holds up to ten vials upright in separate wells under a clear lid, which keeps a fridge shelf tidy and the labels easy to read.

Checking your Tesamorelin 10mg

The vial label shows the compound and the amount. For anything your lab needs on file beyond that, email Peptira support with the product name before you place the order.

Labs that check material in-house normally confirm identity with mass spectrometry, which checks the molecular weight, and measure purity with HPLC, which separates the main compound from anything else in the sample.

Keep a record of which vial went into which experiment. Matching results to material is the simplest way to rule it out when an experiment doesn’t behave.
