WEIGHT & METABOLIC RESEARCH

Tesamorelin

A GHRH analog specifically studied for reducing deep abdominal (visceral) fat.

Tesamorelin is a GHRH analog studied specifically for reducing visceral adipose tissue (VAT)—the deep abdominal fat that surrounds internal organs and is strongly linked to insulin resistance and cardiovascular risk. It is FDA-approved for a specific clinical indication (HIV-associated lipodystrophy).

Why BLP features Tesamorelin

Included because it is FDA-approved (for a specific indication), works through a well-characterized GHRH-receptor mechanism, and has a defined clinical track record. It represents targeted, established metabolic research rather than broad weight-loss marketing.

Mechanism

Binds GHRH receptors on the pituitary, triggering natural GH and IGF-1 release.

Preferentially targets deep abdominal fat stores while, in studies, not reducing subcutaneous fat or muscle mass.

WHAT THE RESEARCH MEASURED

Research findings

Findings describe study outcomes, not expected personal results.

Human research findings

  • Reported significant visceral fat reduction (up to roughly 15–20% over six months in study populations).
  • Reported improved lipid profiles and insulin sensitivity, and better waist circumference and body composition.
  • Reported IGF-1 elevation within the physiological range.
  • Side effects were mostly mild: injection-site reactions that usually faded after the first week; rare joint pain or mild glucose changes.

Mechanistic & supporting research

  • GHRH-receptor mechanism well characterized.
  • VAT-specific targeting established through the GH/IGF-1 axis.

Regulatory status

Tesamorelin is FDA-approved for a specific clinical indication (HIV-associated lipodystrophy) and is not approved for general weight loss. Material offered here is sold and offered strictly for laboratory and research use.
