Dr. Joy Kong explains tesamorelin, an FDA-approved peptide that triggers the body to make more human growth hormone. It builds muscle and burns fat without raising blood sugar, and also improves bone density, cognition, and cardiovascular health.
What's Tesamorelin? It's an FDA-approved peptide that stimulates natural growth hormone production and promotes muscle gain and fat loss, which is why it's considered a body recomposition peptide. It was initially investigated in HIV patients to reduce HIV drug-induced central obesity. What are the key features? 1. It increases human growth hormone production without increasing blood sugar levels. 2, it increases protein synthesis and muscle growth, increasing breakdown of fat. It can improve fasting insulin level. It can improve lipid profile. It improves heart health, reduces arterial plaques, and reduces risk of cardiovascular events. It also reduces inflammation marker CRP and reduces fatty liver disease. It can improve cognition and memory. And improves exercise capacity and energy. It also improves bone density and immune function. So as you can see, this is a remarkable peptide.
