Does It Support Muscle?

Yes. Tesamorelin is known for helping preserve and enhance lean muscle, especially while the body is burning fat. It is typically stronger for overall body recomposition than CJC-1295 combinations.

Potential Benefits

  • Strong support for fat loss
  • Helps maintain or build lean muscle
  • Enhances recovery and energy
  • Improves sleep quality
  • May help reduce inflammation markers

Who It May Help

  • Adults wanting fat loss + muscle maintenance
  • Men and women looking for a “metabolic reset”
  • Individuals transitioning off GLP-1 medications
  • Active adults wanting better body composition

Possible Side Effects

  • Temporary bloating or mild water retention
  • Mild joint stiffness
  • Vivid dreams
  • Increased appetite (Tesamorelin can raise ghrelin slightly)

When to Expect Results

Improved energy, sleep, and recovery: 3–4 weeks

Abdominal fat reduction: 8–12 weeks

Administration

Patients will self-inject this medication at home. In-clinic education will be provided to ensure you feel comfortable and confident administering a subcutaneous (SQ) injection.

Why nighttime?

Your body naturally releases growth hormone while you sleep. Taking this medication at night supports that natural rhythm and improves effectiveness.

Cycle

Recommended: 3-month treatment course, then 4 weeks off

  • Cycling helps prevent overstimulation and supports long-term responsiveness
  • This peptide can increase IGF-1, so before starting another cycle, a hemoglobin A1C must be checked to ensure it’s appropriate to continue
