What users report
Up to 17.5% less deep fat
A targeted reduction
The mind, too
Sought for deep belly fat, the kind you cannot pinch, with the molecule of a prescription drug approved in the United States.
Up to 17.5% less deep fat
In the phase 3 trials, measured by imaging, it went down while it rose on placebo.
A targeted reduction
In those trials, the fat under the skin was preserved: it was the deep fat, around the organs, that went down.
The mind, too
In 152 adults aged 55 to 87, a trial measured a favourable effect on planning and switching from one task to another (Baker, 2012).

People choose it for deep abdominal fat: up to 17.5% less, measured by imaging, in the phase 3 trials.
What it is: An analogue of the full GHRH, all 44 amino acids, protected from the DPP-4 enzyme, whose molecule is the active ingredient of a prescription drug approved in the United States.
Documented in humans
37% less liver fat: that is what a 2019 trial of tesamorelin measured.
This GHRH analogue keeps all 44 of its amino acids, protected from the DPP-4 enzyme. It is the active ingredient of a drug approved in the United States for excess deep abdominal fat.
Why people choose it:
- Deep abdominal fat: up to 18% less, measured by imaging, in the phase 3 trials (806 adults).
- Targeted fat: the fat around the organs went down, while the fat under the skin was preserved.
- Triglycerides: down 50 mg/dL, against a rise of 9 mg/dL on placebo (2007).
- IGF-1: up 81% (2007), rising within one to two weeks.
- Executive function: a favourable effect measured in 152 adults aged 55 to 87 (2012).
It is the only recent GHRH analogue with phase 3 trials in adults.

What to combine it with?
Pick one to three products: the text follows your combination.
The two switches
What each one brings
- Tesamorelin : The full GHRH, all 44 amino acids: it activates the pituitary's GHRH receptor.
- Ipamorelin : It activates the ghrelin receptor, without raising cortisol.
Why together
Tesamorelin activates the GHRH receptor, ipamorelin the ghrelin receptor: two different receptors for the same growth hormone pulse, the reasoning behind the CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin formula. It is Peptiva's Two Switches stack.
What adds up
- The deep abdominal fat tesamorelin targets, measured by imaging in its phase 3 trials.
- A pulse triggered by both switches, with sleep as the first change ipamorelin users report.
In practice
Two pens, two protocols: each follows the one shown on its own page.
When will I feel the effects?
Weeks 1 to 2
The signal is on
IGF-1 rises within the first weeks: it is already working, even if the mirror does not say so yet.
Weeks 3 to 11
Momentum builds
Effects build over weeks and months: the routine settles in, and what follows is built over time.
Weeks 12 to 19
Your waistline starts to change
Around the twelfth week, deep belly fat, the kind you cannot pinch, starts to recede.
Week 20 and up
The gain locks in
From the twentieth week, the gain locks in and holds as long as you keep going.
These timings vary from one person to the next. This timeline is a guide, not a promise.

Storage
Good for 5 and a half weeks after reconstitution, if it has been kept properly: in the fridge, away from light, with an alcohol swab on the tip before each use. Past that, we do not recommend using it, even if some is left; if the liquid turns cloudy or changes colour, do not use it, even before.

Scientific studies4 studies
In humans: mostly adults living with HIV who have excess abdominal fat; one trial in adults over 55.
2019 · Stanley et al., Lancet HIV · 61 adults living with HIV and excess liver fat, 12 months, versus placebo
A greater drop in liver fat than on placebo, with no difference in blood sugar at 12 months. More injection-site reactions, none judged serious.
2012 · Baker et al., Archives of Neurology · 152 adults aged 55 to 87, healthy or with mild cognitive impairment, 20 weeks, versus placebo
A favourable effect on executive function (planning, switching between tasks), IGF-1 up while staying in the normal range, body fat down. Mild side effects, more frequent than on placebo.
2008 · Falutz et al., AIDS · Extension of the same trial to 52 weeks, with a group switched to placebo
The drop in deep fat held in those who continued, without worsening blood sugar; in those who stopped, it came back. The effect lasts as long as the use.
2007 · Falutz et al., New England Journal of Medicine · 412 adults living with HIV and excess abdominal fat, 26 weeks, versus placebo
Deep abdominal fat down by about 15% (up 5% on placebo), triglycerides down, IGF-1 up, average blood sugar unchanged. More dropouts for side effects than on placebo.
