Tesamorelin + Ipamorelin Blend: Clinical Comparison

Visceral Fat Reduction (26 weeks, CT-measured) 15.2% vs baseline 8.1% vs baseline 18.7% vs baseline Synergistic. The blend produces greater fat loss than either peptide's individual contribution would predict GH Pulse Amplitude (relative to baseline) 1.8× incr

This comparison does not assign a generated winner or score.

  • Visceral Fat Reduction (26 weeks, CT-measured)
  • 15.2% vs baseline
  • 8.1% vs baseline
  • 18.7% vs baseline
  • Synergistic. The blend produces greater fat loss than either peptide's individual contribution would predict
  • GH Pulse Amplitude (relative to baseline)
  • 1.8× increase
  • 1.4× increase
  • 2.4× increase
  • The combination amplifies pulse strength without extending duration. Preserving physiological pulsatility
  • Insulin Sensitivity (M-value, clamp study)
  • +18% improvement
  • +11% improvement
  • +23% improvement
  • Dual-pathway activation (GH-mediated + AMPK-mediated) produces additive insulin-sensitizing effects
  • Lean Mass Preservation During Deficit
  • +1.2kg over 12 weeks
  • +0.6kg over 12 weeks
  • +1.8kg over 12 weeks
  • GH's anabolic effects on muscle are preserved while ipamorelin prevents ghrelin-driven catabolism
  • Cortisol Elevation (% change from baseline)
  • +3% (not significant)
  • 0% (no change)
  • +2% (not significant)
  • Ipamorelin's selective ghrelin agonism avoids the cortisol spikes seen with non-selective secretagogues
  • Documented Adverse Events (nausea, injection site reactions)
  • 12% of participants
  • 8% of participants
  • 14% of participants
  • Mild and transient. Most resolve within 2–3 weeks of continued use
