Description
Tesamorelin 20mg from Certified Peptides is 20mg of Tesamorelin in a sealed glass vial. Tesamorelin is a GHRH analog. It’s intended for lab research only.
What is Tesamorelin?
Tesamorelin is the full 44-amino-acid GHRH with a trans-3-hexenoyl group added. It’s FDA-approved as Egrifta for reducing abdominal fat in HIV-associated lipodystrophy.
It raises GH and IGF-1.
How Tesamorelin acts in the lab
Tesamorelin binds the GHRH receptor and raises growth hormone and IGF-1. The hexenoyl group on the front end stops DPP-4 from cutting it, which makes it far more stable than natural GHRH.
Its best-documented effect is on visceral fat, the fat around the organs, which is what the Egrifta approval was based on.

Published Tesamorelin studies
Falutz and colleagues published the phase 3 trials in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2007.
Later studies looked at liver fat.
The primary literature is on PubMed. Here’s a search for Tesamorelin studies to start from.
How Tesamorelin compares
Labs choosing Tesamorelin 20mg usually weigh it against a few close relatives. Tesamorelin is full-length GHRH with a fatty acid cap, the only GHRH analog currently approved as a drug in the US, while:
- CJC-1295 No DAC is a stabilized GHRH(1-29) with a half-life of about 30 minutes, giving short, natural-looking pulses
- CJC-1295 DAC binds albumin and lasts about a week, giving a raised GH baseline instead of short pulses
- Sermorelin is the unmodified first 29 amino acids of GHRH, broken down within minutes
These are all GHRH analogs, acting on the same receptor. The real difference is how long each one lasts, which decides whether you get short pulses or a raised baseline. See them all on our growth hormone peptides page.
Tesamorelin 20mg reconstitution and concentration
Here’s the math for 20mg of powder:
- 1mL of bacteriostatic water gives 20mg/mL
- 2mL of bacteriostatic water gives 10mg/mL
- 3mL of bacteriostatic water gives 6.67mg/mL
Choose the volume that suits your measurements. Mark the vial with the concentration and date so nobody has to guess later. The vial itself holds 5mL, so that’s the upper limit.
Bacteriostatic water is the usual choice. Add it slowly so it runs down the side of the vial, then swirl or roll until everything dissolves. Shaking can shear peptide chains. Skip it.
Tesamorelin 20mg storage and shelf life
Store sealed vials of Tesamorelin 20mg in the freezer (-20°C) or the fridge (2 to 8°C), out of direct light. Mixed solution goes back in the fridge and should be used within about 28 days.
If you keep several vials going at once, our 10 vial container keeps them upright and together on a fridge shelf, and spare 3mL vial caps protect the stoppers once the seals are off.
How Tesamorelin 20mg is tested
Tesamorelin 20mg is made in the USA, and every batch goes to an independent U.S. laboratory before it’s sold. The lab confirms identity, measures the content and checks purity by HPLC. Our standard is 99% or higher.
Scroll through the photos at the top of the page and you’ll find the current batch’s certificate of analysis. We post the actual report, so you can check the figures yourself.
On top of purity, each batch is screened for endotoxins, heavy metals and sterility. For cell culture work that screen is often the more important number.
Other Tesamorelin strengths
- Tesamorelin 10mg: $89.00, about $8.90 per mg
- Tesamorelin 20mg (this page): $140.00, about $7.00 per mg
Tesamorelin 20mg is one of the larger sizes, and bigger vials cost less per milligram. It suits longer studies where you’d otherwise reorder.
