Sermorelin and growth hormone release
A group of adults was observed; participants knew which treatment they received.
What did they want to find out?
How did growth hormone release change?
What does this example say?
The example says growth hormone returned to being released in pulses. It also says participants generally tolerated the treatment.
What does this mean for you?
A hormone change does not show that someone will have more energy, more muscle or better sleep. Older research does not prove these benefits either.
What we still do not know
We have not verified the article behind this example. The summary provides little information about changes in fat or muscle and does not prove benefits in healthy people.
