About Tesamorelin

Tesamorelin is a stabilised synthetic analogue of growth-hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). It is a well-characterised peptide in growth-hormone-axis and metabolic research and is supplied as a lyophilized 10-vial kit in 5, 10 and 20 mg sizes.

RetaNord supplies Tesamorelin as fixed kits of 10 or 30 lyophilized vials, each verified at 99%+ identity purity by independent third-party HPLC (Janoshik), and every kit ships with a lot-specific Certificate of Analysis. Supplied for laboratory and in vitro research use only.

How Tesamorelin works

Tesamorelin is a synthetic analogue of human growth-hormone-releasing hormone, GHRH(1–44), carrying a trans-3-hexenoyl group on the N-terminus. That modification protects the molecule from dipeptidyl peptidase-4, which otherwise clips native GHRH within minutes.

It acts at the GHRH receptor on the pituitary, stimulating release of the body’s own growth hormone rather than supplying growth hormone directly. That distinction — secretagogue versus replacement — is why it appears in the literature as a separate class from recombinant GH.

What the research shows

A 2011 profile in Nature Reviews Drug Discovery covers the compound; a 2024 study in AIDS reports on efficacy and safety in people with HIV on integrase inhibitors.

Tesamorelin is the most clinically characterised compound in this catalogue after the incretins — it has an approved indication in some jurisdictions. RetaNord supplies it for laboratory research use only.

Storage & handling

Sealed, lyophilized vials. 2–8 °C for routine storage; −20 °C or below for long-term. Room temperature is for transit and handling only — it is not a storage state for a peptide.

Once reconstituted. Keep at 2–8 °C and never freeze — ice crystals cause irreversible damage. Reconstituted with bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol) a vial is commonly used within about 30 days; with plain sterile water, within 24–48 hours.

Keep vials sealed and protected from light, and minimise freeze–thaw cycles of frozen stock — each cycle costs potency.

Tesamorelin — questions

Do the kits come with a Certificate of Analysis?

Yes — every kit ships with a lot-specific third-party Certificate of Analysis: independent HPLC purity and content testing by Janoshik, with the batch matching your vials. View the current CoA.

What is a GHRH analogue?

A synthetic peptide that mimics growth-hormone-releasing hormone. Tesamorelin is one of the best-characterised examples. Supplied for laboratory research use only.

Why is this sold as a 10-vial kit?

These research compounds are supplied in fixed kits of 10 identical vials — the standard research quantity. One kit (10 vials) is the minimum order to the EU.

How should Tesamorelin be stored?

Sealed lyophilized vials keep at 2–8 °C, or −20 °C for long-term storage. Once reconstituted, keep refrigerated and never freeze it. See storage & handling for the full detail.

How do I work out the concentration?

The volume of bacteriostatic water you add sets the concentration — the vial size alone does not. Enter your vial size and diluent volume in the reconstitution calculator to calculate the concentration for your assay.

How does it differ from the CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin kit?

Tesamorelin is a single GHRH analogue. The CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin kit combines a GHRH analogue with a separate ghrelin-receptor secretagogue, so it engages two different receptors.
