Sermorelin
A 29-amino-acid GHRH analogue (GHRH 1–29 fragment). FDA-approved (1997) to assess and treat growth-hormone deficiency in children; no longer commercially supplied but sometimes used via compounding pharmacies. Stimulates pituitary to release HGH in a physiologic pattern with fewer risks en.wikipedia.org+1rxlist.com+1.
