What it is
A synthetic analogue of growth hormone–releasing hormone that signals the pituitary to release the body’s own growth hormone — acting through its existing regulatory system rather than replacing it. At Meridian, sermorelin is prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy and is available only when a licensed physician prescribes it.
Why a provider may consider it
A provider may evaluate sermorelin when an individual’s assessment centers on sleep, recovery, body composition, or healthy-aging goals — and when supporting the body’s own growth-hormone signaling fits the clinical picture.
- ✓Sleep quality and morning restedness
- ✓Recovery that no longer keeps pace with training or daily demand
- ✓Body composition and lean-mass maintenance
- ✓Growth-axis markers, where laboratory testing is appropriate
How it is administered
A small subcutaneous injection, self-administered at home with training, supplies, and guidance included. Dose, route, and schedule are determined for the individual by the prescribing physician — no universal dose is published here.
What Meridian may track
- •Sleep quality, energy, and recovery patterns through regular check-ins
- •Progress against the goals you set at your assessment
- •Laboratory information when your physician considers it useful
- •Plan adjustments over time — continuation is always a clinical decision
Important considerations
- —Not appropriate for everyone; eligibility depends on medical history and clinical factors.
- —Compounded sermorelin is not an FDA-approved drug; it is prepared by a licensed pharmacy and prescribed only when a physician determines it is appropriate.
- —Therapies are not treatments that reverse aging — results vary and are not guaranteed.
- —A licensed physician independently decides whether sermorelin — or any therapy — is appropriate for you. Completing an assessment does not guarantee a prescription.
