Sermorelin Dosing Guide: Protocol, Timing & What to Expect
By Verum Health Medical Team · April 1, 2026 · 8 min read
Sermorelin is a growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) analogue — it stimulates your pituitary gland to produce and release your own growth hormone naturally. Unlike synthetic HGH, sermorelin works with your body's feedback mechanisms, making it safer and more sustainable long-term.
Standard Sermorelin Dosing
| Goal | Dose | Timing |
|---|---|---|
| Anti-aging / general wellness | 200–300mcg | Nightly before bed |
| Body composition / fat loss | 300–500mcg | Nightly before bed |
| Athletic performance / recovery | 300–500mcg | Nightly or post-workout |
Why Inject at Night?
Growth hormone is naturally released in pulses during deep sleep. Injecting sermorelin before bed aligns with your body's natural GH secretion rhythm, amplifying the effect without disrupting feedback loops. Morning injection is less effective for most patients.
Cycle Length & Timeline
- Minimum cycle: 3 months (sermorelin takes time — effects build gradually)
- Optimal cycle: 6 months continuous, then reassess
- Long-term use: Many patients use indefinitely under physician monitoring
- Timeline for results:
- Weeks 1–4: Improved sleep quality, subtle energy improvement
- Months 2–3: Noticeable body composition changes, better recovery
- Months 4–6: Significant fat loss, muscle improvement, skin quality changes
Sermorelin vs. Sermorelin/Ipamorelin Stack
Adding ipamorelin (a GHRP) to sermorelin creates a synergistic effect — sermorelin triggers GHRH receptors while ipamorelin activates ghrelin receptors, resulting in a stronger, more sustained GH pulse.
Verum Health offers both sermorelin alone (3mg/mL, 5mL) and the popular Sermorelin/Ipamorelin combination.
