Growth Hormone
Tesamorelin
Belly fat and growth hormone release
Quick answer
A 10 mg vial with 2 mL of water makes 5 mg/mL. A 1 mg dose is 20 units. Once a day at night, usually 12 weeks or more before judging results.
- Mix it
- 10 mg vial + 2 mL water
- Draw
- About 20 units on a U-100 syringe
- How often
- Once a day. Timing is up to you, but keep it the same each day.
- Store it
- Refrigerate after mixing. Use within about 4 weeks.
What it is
Tesamorelin is a growth hormone releasing peptide with the most research behind it for deep belly fat, the kind that sits around the organs rather than under the skin.
Most used for
- Visceral (deep belly) fat
- Growth hormone levels
- Blood lipid markers
These are things researchers study. They are not promised results.
Dosing at a glance
These are the amounts used most often in research. Always start at the low end.
- Vial size
- 10 mg
- Dose range
- 2 mg per day is the FDA-approved dose. Some people use 1 mg off-label.
- How often
- Once a day. Timing is up to you, but keep it the same each day.
- Cycle length
- 12 weeks or longer
- Mix with
- Bacteriostatic water (also called bac water or reconstitution solution).
- Storage
- Refrigerate after mixing. Use within about 4 weeks.
Mixing it
A common setup for Tesamorelin is a 10 mg vial with 2 mL of bac water.
That makes 5 mg per mL. A 1 mg dose is about 20 units on a standard insulin syringe.
Bacteriostatic water is all you need here. Acetic acid is only for powders that will not dissolve. See the mixing guide.
