Tesamorelin is a growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH) analog, meaning it signals the body to release more of its own natural growth hormone. It’s most commonly known for its ability to help reduce visceral fat (deep abdominal fat), which is one of the reasons it has been studied and used clinically. Beyond that, many people research Tesamorelin for its potential benefits related to: • Fat metabolism and body composition • Preservation of lean muscle mass • Improved recovery and sleep quality • Metabolic health • Supporting natural growth hormone production Unlike directly injecting growth hormone, Tesamorelin works by stimulating your body’s own natural GH release, which is why some people prefer it as part of a growth hormone support protocol. It’s often paired with peptides like Ipamorelin, which can help amplify the natural growth hormone pulse. As always, dosing, frequency, and cycle lengths can vary depending on the protocol and individual goals. If you want to see example dosing and cycle information, I have it included in the reference guide inside the classroom. Educational purposes only — not medical advice.

MOTS-C is a mitochondrial-derived peptide that plays a role in how the body regulates energy production and metabolic function. Unlike many peptides that signal the pituitary or endocrine system, MOTS-C works at the mitochondrial level, which is why it’s often researched for its potential role in supporting cellular energy and metabolic health. Researchers have looked at MOTS-C for potential benefits related to: • Metabolic health • Insulin sensitivity • Cellular energy production • Exercise performance • Healthy aging and longevity Because MOTS-C works through mitochondrial signaling, it’s often studied in protocols focused on metabolism, longevity, and mitochondrial optimization. One thing to note is that dosing protocols for MOTS-C vary widely in research, so you’ll see a pretty broad range depending on the protocol and goal. This is actually one of the newer peptides that EllieMD recently started carrying for those who prefer having medical guidance along the way. It’s also available through both of the other vetted sources I share in the guide, so if you’re researching it further make sure to check the guidebook in the classroom for more details.
