Tesamorelin 5mg

Description

Tesamorelin 5mg from Blue Sky Peptide is 5mg of Tesamorelin in a sealed glass vial. Tesamorelin is a GHRH analog. This batch tested at 99.91% purity. It’s sold for laboratory research only.

Tesamorelin at a glance

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.

Tesamorelin mechanism of action

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.

Tesamorelin 5mg vs related compounds

Labs choosing Tesamorelin 5mg 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 5mg reconstitution and concentration

Here’s the math for 5mg of peptide:

• 1mL of water gives 5mg/mL
• 2mL of water gives 2.5mg/mL
• 3mL of water gives 1.67mg/mL

Go with whichever number is easiest to work with in your protocol, and label the vial with the concentration and the date you mixed it.

Use sterile bacteriostatic water. Warm the sealed vial to room temperature first so no condensation gets in, add the water slowly along the glass wall, and swirl gently until it’s clear. Never shake it.

How to store Tesamorelin 5mg

Freeze-dried Tesamorelin 5mg is stable at room temperature for shipping, but for anything longer keep it in a freezer at -20°C, away from light. Once mixed, keep it in the fridge at 2 to 8°C and use it within about four weeks.

Vials are small and easy to knock over or misplace. Our vial storage case and hard storage box each hold ten, so a whole study’s worth stays together.

Tesamorelin 5mg purity and testing

The current batch of Tesamorelin 5mg tested at 99.91% purity by mass spectrometry and UV (HPLC) analysis. That figure comes from the batch report, not a marketing estimate, and it’s the reason we list the exact number instead of rounding up.

The label on each vial shows the compound, the strength and the batch. Ask us for the certificate of analysis for your batch and we’ll email it over.

Write the batch number in your lab notes when you open a new vial. If you ever need to compare results between orders, that’s the detail you’ll want.
