Sermorelin

Sermorelin is a synthetic peptide that works as an analog of growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH)—the natural signal that tells your pituitary gland to release growth hormone (GH). Instead of adding synthetic GH from the outside, Sermorelin helps your body produce more of its own GH, within its normal feedback loops.

Growth hormone influences recovery, lean muscle, fat metabolism, sleep quality, and overall vitality. By supporting healthier GH signaling, Sermorelin is used to complement training and nutrition for men who want better performance, resilience, and body composition.

Your Maves clinician builds a personalized Sermorelin protocol based on your goals, medical history, and response—so you’re not guessing on dose, timing, or duration.

Most men use Sermorelin in multi-month phases rather than as a “forever” medication. A typical approach:

• Build phase (first 3 months): establish your dose, support sleep and recovery, and begin to improve GH signaling.
• Optimization phase (3–6+ months): continue nightly injections while we monitor energy, recovery, body composition markers, and labs when appropriate.
• Reassess & adjust: your clinician may continue, taper, or cycle Sermorelin depending on your goals—often pairing it with periods focused on training volume, strength, or fat loss.

Some patients stay on Sermorelin longer term as part of a performance and recovery plan; others use it in cycles around key training blocks or alongside GLP-1 therapy. Your Maves clinician can help you set expectations and revisit them regularly.

Sermorelin is used to support lean muscle gains and recovery. By helping restore a more youthful growth hormone rhythm, Sermorelin may support:

• Maintenance or improvement of lean body mass
• Better recovery between strength and conditioning sessions
• Improved fat metabolism, so more of the weight you lose can come from fat rather than muscle when paired with the right plan

To protect and build muscle, it's also important to supplement with:

• Resistance training several days per week
• Protein-forward nutrition to support muscle repair
• Adequate sleep and stress management

Most side effects are mild and temporary as your body adapts and usually resolve on their own.

Common effects may include:

• Mild redness, itching, or discomfort at the injection site
• Headache or lightheadedness
• Nausea or upset stomach
• Flushing or a warm feeling
• Temporary fatigue

How Maves manages this:

• We start low and titrate your dose based on response and comfort
• You can message your clinician anytime for quick adjustments (no appointment needed)
• If side effects persist or are bothersome, your clinician may modify dose, timing, or supportive care

Most symptoms fade over time. If side effects persist, worsen, or concern you, reach out to a healthcare professional for guidance.
