The only FDA-approved peptide:

Tesamorelin.

It forces your body to produce growth hormone naturally, melts visceral fat & boosts brain function.

Here are its wild benefits (& the science behind them): 🧵

First, what is Tesamorelin?

It’s a GHRH peptide that signals your pituitary to increase natural growth hormone by up to 2–3x.

Unlike synthetic GH (which shuts down your own supply) Tesamorelin enhances output without suppression:

Why this matters ?

When you inject growth hormone directly, your pituitary says "we have enough" and stops working.

Tesamorelin does the opposite - it makes your pituitary work HARDER to produce its own growth hormone:

Benefit No. 1: Destroys belly fat

Studies show 15-25% reduction in abdominal fat, including the dangerous visceral fat around your organs.

This isn't just surface fat - it's the deep metabolic fat that causes disease:

Benefit No. 2: Increases IGF-1

IGF-1 is the most anabolic substance your body produces.

Higher IGF-1 = faster muscle growth, better recovery, increased metabolism.

Your body becomes a fat-burning, muscle-building machine:

Benefit No. 3: Better sleep quality

Growth hormone is released during deep sleep cycles.

Tesamorelin enhances this natural process, leading to deeper, more restorative sleep.

You wake up actually refreshed:

Benefit No. 4: Mental clarity boost

Studies show GH can improve memory recall by up to 20% and enhance cognitive speed.

Tesamorelin increases IGF-1, which supports neuroplasticity and protects against age-related decline.

Benefit No. 5: Enhanced recovery

Whether it's from workouts or daily stress, Tesamorelin accelerates tissue repair.

Muscles rebuild faster, injuries heal quicker, you bounce back from everything:

Benefit No. 6: Improves cardiovascular markers

Tesamorelin has been shown to reduce triglycerides and C-reactive protein (CRP), lowering inflammation & supporting heart health

Especially in people with high visceral fat:

Benefit No. 7: Reduces liver fat

Clinical studies show Tesamorelin can significantly reduce liver fat (NAFLD), which is common in people with metabolic syndrome.

A healthier liver = better energy, digestion & hormone regulation:

A few more tips:

Cycling is crucial:
• 16-30 week cycles maximum.
• Take 2-3 months off between cycles.

Long-term use can affect insulin sensitivity and blood glucose levels.

When you'll feel it?

Week 6-10 is when most people notice significant changes.

Better sleep starts earlier, but fat loss and muscle gains take time.

Second cycle feels faster because your pituitary is already "awakened."

⚠️ WARNING: Monitor your blood sugar ⚠️

Tesamorelin can reduce insulin sensitivity in some users.

Watch for rising fasting glucose (if it climbs from 85–90 to over 100, stop immediately)

Get full bloodwork (glucose, insulin, HbA1c) every 12 weeks to stay safe and optimized.

Who shouldn’t use it:

• Pre-diabetics or diabetics without close medical supervision
• Anyone unwilling to track blood sugar and run labs regularly
• People expecting results without fixing sleep, diet, or training first
