Tesamorelin
Tesamorelin is an FDA-approved GHRH analog that supports the body's nighttime growth hormone pulse. It is the peptide with the strongest evidence for targeting visceral fat — the deep abdominal fat surrounding the organs that is most associated with metabolic risk.
Mechanism and fit.
Tesamorelin signals the pituitary to release growth hormone in its natural rhythm. This drives fat metabolism (particularly visceral fat), supports muscle preservation, and improves sleep and recovery. Patients typically notice that the midsection responds in a way it had not before.

What patients
most often ask.
Why does tesamorelin specifically target belly fat?
Tesamorelin's GH pulse is particularly effective at mobilizing visceral fat — the deeper abdominal fat that sits around organs and is most associated with metabolic risk. This is what differentiates it from other GH-axis peptides.
Will I lose muscle?
No — tesamorelin supports lean mass while targeting fat. It's used in true body recomposition rather than simple weight loss.
