- For decades, synthetic HGH injections were the standard approach to restoring levels of human growth hormone. While effective in raising HGH, injecting the hormone itself can suppress the body’s natural production and lead to side effects such as swelling, joint pain, and, in some cases, increased risk of diabetes or certain cancers.18 19 20
- “Injectable HGH can push IGF-1 levels chronically high if not carefully monitored,” explains Knight. “Sermorelin, by contrast, offers a balanced, evidence-informed approach that supports the body’s natural rhythm while minimizing the metabolic risks associated with direct HGH therapy.”
- Sermorelin relies on the intact feedback loop: The brain can still monitor and adjust growth hormone levels whereas HGH may override that, or bypass it, and may be excessive or shut pituitary function down in the process.
