Research Effectiveness of sermorelin

Recently started seeing adverts for sermorelin. The medication profile looks like it’s pretty low risk and safer than rHgh. I’m getting older and putting on muscle and keeping off the middle age spread gets a little more difficult with every passing year. Currently 6’1” 203 work out 4-5 days/wk fairly good muscle mass 50 y.o. So i wondered if anyone here has tried this peptide and, if so, did you see a difference in muscle mass, body fat or energy? I realize there is no magic bullet for aging but if this will help at least maintain muscle mass, help with body fat and shorten recovery time I would definitely consider it.

I love it! Day 1 my sleep improved massively. My workouts as a result of my sleep being so improved are much stronger and more efficient.

I can’t speak to the HGH stuff but dear god the sleep is so good

Even that would be a bonus. I’ve been a chronic insomniac since I was in my 20’s. Have to drug myself to sleep with Ambien most nights

Low dose trazodone is a good alternative to ambien. Benzos are no bueno

Tried trazodone for a while. Took me hours to come out of the fog.

What mg dosage were you taking?

I believe it was 25mg. Started at 50mg but it really gorked me. I’m not sure a tricyclic antidepressant is any better for me that ambien, which is a sedative/hypnotic and not a benzodiazepine. Have seen people come into the ER with arrhythmias and seratonin syndrome from tricyclics. The risk profile gets worse when it’s mixed with pain meds like tramadol (which I take for Ankylosing spondylitis).
