Sermorelin Therapy
As we age, our bodies naturally produce less growth hormone (GH), which can contribute to reduced energy, muscle loss, slower metabolism, and visible signs of aging. Sermorelin, a Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone (GHRH) analog, stimulates the body’s natural production of growth hormone, helping to support vitality and longevity.
At Westmoreland Pharmacy, we provide custom-compounded Sermorelin formulations designed to help support overall wellness, energy, and recovery.
Why Does Growth Hormone Decline with Age?
By the time we reach our 30s and 40s, natural growth hormone production decreases due to the age-related reduced secretion of GH-releasing hormone (GHRH) by the hypothalamus. The decrease in GH impacts:
- Lean muscle mass and fat metabolism
- Energy levels and endurance
- Collagen production, skin elasticity, and wrinkle formation
- Cognitive function, memory, and mood stability
- Immune function and overall resilience
Sermorelin can be prescribed to help stimulate the pituitary gland, which may help encourage the body to support its own natural production of growth hormone.
Potential Benefits of Sermorelin for Longevity & Anti-Aging
Supports Lean Muscle & Fat Metabolism
Sermorelin may contribute to muscle retention and body composition by stimulating protein synthesis and metabolic function.
Promotes Energy & Stamina
By increasing growth hormone production, Sermorelin is prescribed to support daily energy levels and physical performance.
Encourages Skin Health & Collagen Production
Sermorelin stimulates the production of collagen, which plays a role in skin texture, elasticity, and overall appearance.
Supports Cognitive Function & Mood
Growth hormone influences memory, focus, and stress response. Sermorelin may contribute to mental clarity and emotional well-being.
Encourages Healthy Sleep Patterns
Growth hormone is naturally released during deep sleep cycles. Sermorelin is prescribed to support the body’s overnight regenerative processes.
Maintains Immune Function & Recovery
Growth hormone plays a role in cellular repair and immune system function. Sermorelin therapy is designed to support these natural processes.
Sermorelin vs. Synthetic Growth Hormone
Unlike synthetic Human Growth Hormone (HGH) injections, which provide direct hormone replacement, Sermorelin supports the body’s natural ability to regulate GH production. Some key differences include:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Who can benefit from Sermorelin therapy?
Sermorelin is prescribed for adults looking to support healthy aging, energy levels, muscle retention, and overall wellness. It may be recommended for individuals experiencing low GH levels or related concerns.
How is Sermorelin different from HGH therapy?
Sermorelin stimulates the body’s natural GH production, while HGH therapy replaces GH directly. This means Sermorelin is prescribed to encourage the body to regulate its own growth hormone levels over time.
How long does it take to see results?
While individual responses vary, most patients report noticeable effects in 3-6 months, as the body gradually adjusts its GH levels.
How is Sermorelin administered?
Sermorelin is given as a subcutaneous injection before bedtime to align with the body’s overnight GH release cycle.
Can Sermorelin be combined with other therapies?
Yes, Sermorelin is often included as part of a comprehensive wellness plan, which may include bioidentical hormone therapy, nutritional supplementation, and lifestyle modifications.
Are there dietary or lifestyle recommendations while using Sermorelin?
Optimizing protein intake, exercise, and sleep quality may support the body’s ability to produce GH effectively while using Sermorelin.
