The 44 amino acids of human GHRH, the hormone that tells the pituitary to release growth hormone, with a 6-carbon chain at the start.

What it's for

Prescribed for
Reducing excess abdominal fat in adults with HIV and lipodystrophy. The label warns: it is not for weight loss; it does not change weight.
