What Sermorelin is

Sermorelin is the first 29 amino acids of growth hormone-releasing hormone, the shortest fragment that still triggers the pituitary to release growth hormone. It was developed as a medicine for growth hormone deficiency in children and marketed under the name Geref; there is no current FDA label for it. In Australia it is a prescription-only substance.
