Everyone Wants What HGH Promised. Almost Nobody Wants HGH.
Human growth hormone built a reputation that Hollywood, pro sports and anti-aging clinics all paid a lot of money for — leaner body, deeper sleep, faster recovery, skin and energy that act younger than the birthday on the license. It also costs a fortune, it is a controlled substance, and injecting it tells your own pituitary to stop bothering. Growth hormone peptides come at it from the other direction. Injected HGH is a space heater: it warms the room and the furnace shuts off. These peptides turn the thermostat back up and let the furnace run — asking your pituitary to release its own growth hormone, in the same overnight pulses it used at twenty-five. Sermorelin, Ipamorelin, CJC-1295 and Tesamorelin are the four people ask about by name. Here is what separates them.

Peptide Therapy CJC-1295
Peptide Therapy CJC-1295
CJC-1295 is the peptide that almost never gets prescribed by itself. It's a growth hormone releasing hormone analogue — it extends how long your pituitary stays available to release its own growth hormone, which is why it's usually paired rather than run solo. Provider prescribed, pharmacy compounded.

Peptide Therapy Tesamorelin
Peptide Therapy Tesamorelin
Tesamorelin is the peptide people ask about by name when the weight came off and the gut didn't. It's aimed at visceral fat — the hard fat behind your abdominal wall that you can't pinch, can't crunch, and can't diet off the way everything else comes off. Provider prescribed, pharmacy compounded.

Peptide Therapy Sermorelin
Peptide Therapy Sermorelin
Sermorelin is the one in this category with a paper trail. It was an approved drug, sold under the name Geref, until the manufacturer discontinued it in 2008 for commercial reasons. It's a short-acting fragment of the signal your body already uses to release its own growth hormone. Provider prescribed, pharmacy compounded.

Peptide Therapy Ipamorelin
Peptide Therapy Ipamorelin
Ipamorelin is the peptide whose entire reputation is built on what it doesn't do. It triggers a growth hormone pulse through the ghrelin receptor without the off-target company the generation before it carried. It's almost always paired rather than run alone. Provider prescribed, pharmacy compounded.

How It Works
Four Names, And What Each One Is For
01
SERMORELIN — THE STARTING POINT
The closest thing to your body’s own signal. The most common first protocol for people who want to see how they respond before committing to anything stronger.
Sermorelin is the one most people start on, because it is the least clever. It copies the signal your own body already sends to your pituitary, and then gets out of the way. Your pituitary still decides how much to release and when — which means the natural safety brake that stops your body overshooting stays switched on.
People ask about it for the things that changed slowly enough that nobody called it a problem: sleep that stopped feeling restorative, a recovery window that stretched from two days to five, body composition that shifted without the diet shifting. These sit inside the wider peptide therapy program alongside the healing and recovery side.

02
IPAMORELIN & CJC-1295 — THE CLEAN STACK
The most requested combination. Ipamorelin triggers a growth hormone pulse without dragging hunger and stress hormones along with it. CJC-1295 makes the pulse last longer.
Ipamorelin got popular for what it does not do. Older compounds in its class triggered a growth hormone pulse but also spiked cortisol and appetite — you got the release and a stress response and a fridge problem with it. Ipamorelin is selective enough that most people report the pulse without the passengers.
CJC-1295 is usually run alongside it because the two push different buttons. One asks for a release; the other extends how long the signal stays active. Together they are the combination most commonly requested by name, usually dosed at night, because that is when your body does most of this work anyway.

TESAMORELIN — THE ONE WITH THE TRIAL DATA
The only peptide in this group with a full FDA approval behind it, granted specifically for reducing deep visceral abdominal fat.
Tesamorelin is the outlier in this family, and the reason is data. It went through full clinical trials and holds an FDA approval for reducing visceral adipose tissue — the deep abdominal fat that sits around organs rather than under the skin, and the kind that diet and cardio are worst at moving.
That makes it the one people ask about when the stubborn fat is specifically midsection and specifically deep, and when they want a compound with published human outcomes rather than inference. It is also the most expensive of the four, which is the trade.

"Is This Just HGH With Extra Steps?"
No — and the difference is the whole reason these exist. HGH puts hormone into your body from outside, and your pituitary responds by producing less of its own. These peptides ask your pituitary to produce more. One replaces the system. The other restarts it.
