| What it is | A GHRH analogue approved by the FDA for reducing excess visceral fat in HIV-associated lipodystrophy. The only compound in this category with completed phase 3 trials. | Three growth hormone secretagogues in one vial, commonly 6:3:3. Two of the three do the same job, which is the thing worth knowing before buying it. |

| Regulatory statusReviewed 2026-08-12 | Approved by the FDA as a prescription medicine for reducing excess visceral abdominal fat in adults with HIV-associated lipodystrophy. It is not approved for body composition, athletic performance or anti-ageing use, and material sold as a research chemical is not the approved product. | The mixture is not approved anywhere. Tesamorelin alone is FDA-approved for HIV-associated lipodystrophy, at a dose and for a purpose that has nothing to do with this blend. |

This page is educational. It describes what published research reports, not what you should do. Peptides discussed here are largely not approved for human use, and nothing on BioAlmanac is medical advice. Nothing here ranks these two against each other. A table can show that one has more human evidence behind it or costs less per milligram; neither of those is a recommendation, and the right comparison for any person is one their doctor makes with them.
