Human Growth Hormone part 8

Sermorelin

Sermorelin is a relatively new drug which has been counterfeited in China from the original drug, Geref. Sermorelin is a biological active analog of growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) that is produced by the human hypothalamus to stimulate production and release of growth hormone by the anterior pituitary gland.

Sermorelin is neither detected in the blood or urine after a certain time period. So for the moment, things are status quo with the sports organizations and only the dumbest athlete is ever caught with GH.

Sermorelin when administered takes at least 3-4 weeks to work before the effects are obvious. It gradually builds up strength and has none of the major side effects of Growth hormone. Sermorelin is generally designed to treat the aging population and is not an effective replacement for GH. If your body has no GH, then Sermorelin will do very little for you. Sermorelin costs anywhere from $300-$1000 for a month’s supply.

Control Status

The widespread abuse of HG has led to some Federal Regulations limiting it sells and distribution. The 1990 Anabolic Steroids Control Act now means that anyone possessing, selling, distribution GH is committing a crime. There are serious penalties for such acts and include jail time and monetary fines. In March 2007, a bill was introduced into the U.S. Senate to amend the Controlled Substances Act and add HGH to schedule III.

GH is currently listed by the World Anti-Doping Agency and the International Olympic Committee as a performance enhancing drug barring athletes from using it.
