Research-grade Tesamorelin is for laboratory and research use only, not approved for human consumption. Always consult a licensed physician before working with any compound. FDA-approved 2010 for HIV-associated lipodystrophy. Specialty pricing means retail and cash-pay are essentially identical. Off-label use for VAT reduction is what drives research-vendor demand.

Studies & key findings

  • FDA-approved (Egrifta) for HIV-associated lipodystrophy — reduces visceral adipose tissue by 15–18% in pooled Phase 3 analyses, with Study 1 showing 15.2% VAT reduction vs a 5% increase in placebo at 26 weeks.
  • Reduces liver fat and improves hepatic transcriptomics in HIV-associated NAFLD, suggesting benefit beyond cosmetic fat redistribution.
