What people say about Tesamorelin and weight loss
“I also added Tesamorelin 2 months in due to the harder time sleeping on Retatrutide and wanting to accelerate the burn of my visceral fats (2mg 5x a week). Worked like magic for me.”
“I did an eight week cycle of tesamorelin 2mg/day on week days, weekends off, and it went really well. I definitely lost fat, gained muscle, and I look and feel a ton healthier.”
“It definitely worked for me to target visceral fat but I’m one of the people who had a lot of weight to lose.”
“Tesamorelin noticeably improved fat distribution and recovery, especially around stubborn areas, and my sleep quality feels deeper and more consistent.”
What the research says
Conclusion: Our review indicates that, based on the findings of the 10 included studies, GH axis treatments are effective in reducing VAT and increasing LBM in patients with HIV-associated lipodystrophy. However, clinicians must decide whether the attributed benefits are clinically significant, considering the costs and potential risks of GH axis treatments. A limitation of this study is the small number of studies available of each GH axis drug class.
