Metabolic health · For men & women

Support the hormones that run your metabolism.

Growth hormone drives recovery, lean muscle, sleep quality and how your body uses fat — and natural production declines steadily from your thirties. Sermorelin prompts your pituitary to release more of your own growth hormone rather than replacing it. Choose a bedtime injection, a dissolvable troche or a film strip, prescribed online by licensed U.S. providers with transparent 1- and 3-month pricing. More metabolic treatments are on the way.

How it works

Your own growth hormone, on your own rhythm

Sermorelin is a growth-hormone-releasing peptide: it mirrors the signal your hypothalamus sends to the pituitary, prompting it to release growth hormone in natural pulses — mostly during deep sleep. That's why it's taken at bedtime, on the schedule your provider sets. Because your body still controls the release, levels stay within a physiological range instead of being pushed artificially high.

Sermorelin vs. synthetic HGH

Injected HGH replaces what your body no longer makes and bypasses its feedback loop; sermorelin works with that loop. The practical difference is a lower risk of the excess-hormone effects associated with HGH, at a fraction of the cost.

Three forms

The injection (a small bedtime subcutaneous shot) is the most studied route and the most economical plan. The troche (500–1000 mcg) dissolves between cheek and gum; the film strip (1000 mcg) melts on the tongue in about a minute — both needle-free, absorbed through the lining of the mouth. All three are compounded by a licensed U.S. pharmacy for your prescription and are not FDA-approved.

What it supports

Deeper, more restorative sleep; recovery between workouts; lean muscle while losing fat (one reason it's paired with GLP-1 medication); collagen and skin quality; and the steadier energy that follows all of the above.

Who it's for

Slower recovery, poorer sleep, stubborn body-fat changes

That arrive with age despite the same effort.

Adults focused on longevity, performance or body composition

Who want to support their own hormone production rather than replace it.

Alongside weight loss or TRT

Sermorelin is commonly paired with a GLP-1 to help preserve lean mass during weight loss, and with testosterone therapy; your provider coordinates the plan.

Talk to a provider first

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, have active cancer, or have uncontrolled thyroid, adrenal or blood-sugar conditions — your provider screens for these before prescribing.

What to expect, month by month

Month 1. Many people notice better sleep quality first, then steadier energy and stamina through the day.

Month 2. Recovery between workouts improves; skin, hair and nails may look healthier as collagen production rises.

Month 3. Mental clarity and focus sharpen for many; joint comfort and mobility improve, and libido can rise.

Months 4–6. Body composition changes become visible — lean muscle builds more easily and fat reduction is more noticeable — alongside sustained energy.

Ongoing. Benefits depend on consistent use; your provider reviews progress at follow-ups and adjusts the dose or form.

Pricing and what's included

Sermorelin injection and sermorelin troche are each $199 for one month or $399 for three ($133 a month). The film strip is $249 for one month or $449 for three ($149 a month). Every plan includes the online visit, provider follow-ups, supplies for the injection, and free shipping in as little as 3 days. No insurance, no membership, no auto-renewal; full refund if a provider decides treatment isn't appropriate.

Safety

Most people experience minimal side effects: redness or swelling at the injection site, facial flushing, headache or brief dizziness, which usually settle quickly. Troches and film strips can cause mild mouth irritation. Severe allergic reactions are rare but need immediate care. Sermorelin works through your own pituitary, so excess-hormone effects are unlikely, but regular check-ins with your provider are part of every plan. Compounded sermorelin is prepared by licensed U.S. pharmacies and is not FDA-approved. Not for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Frequently asked questions

Answers from the GobyMeds care team. Still have a question? Message us any time from your patient portal.

What is the difference between sermorelin and HGH?

Sermorelin is a growth-hormone-releasing hormone analog: it prompts your pituitary gland to release more of your own growth hormone, in the natural pulses that happen during deep sleep, and your body's feedback loops still apply. HGH therapy injects synthetic growth hormone directly and overrides that rhythm. Sermorelin is generally considered the gentler approach, and GobyMeds does not prescribe HGH.

When should I take sermorelin?

At bedtime, on an empty stomach, typically five nights a week. Growth hormone is released mainly during deep sleep, so dosing before bed works with that cycle; eating sugar or carbohydrates right before a dose blunts the response.

How long does it take to see results?

Deeper sleep and better daytime energy are usually the first changes, often within the first month. Improvements in recovery, skin and body composition build gradually, with the fuller effect on lean muscle and fat reduction typically taking three to six months of consistent use.

Is sermorelin safe for long-term use?

Sermorelin works with your body's own regulation rather than replacing growth hormone, which is why it's regarded as a lower-risk alternative to HGH. Most people tolerate it well; regular check-ins with your provider are recommended, and it's not used in people with active cancer or during pregnancy. Compounded sermorelin is not FDA-approved.

What are the side effects?

Most users experience few side effects. The most common are redness or swelling at an injection site, facial flushing, headache and dizziness; oral forms occasionally cause mild mouth or throat irritation. Joint aches, fluid retention or tingling in the hands can signal the dose is higher than you need. Seek care immediately for signs of a severe allergic reaction.

Injection, troche or film strip: which should I choose?

The injection is the most studied route and the most economical on a 3-month plan. The troche dissolves slowly in the cheek and the film strip dissolves on the tongue; both are needle-free and absorbed through the lining of the mouth. The strip is the most portable and discreet. Your provider can start you on any form and switch you later.

What is your cancellation and refund policy?

If a GobyMeds provider decides a prescription isn't appropriate for you, you receive a 100% refund of the medication price (lab fees, where they apply, are not refunded). Once your order has been sent to our medical partners or to the pharmacy for fulfillment we will do our best to accommodate changes or cancellations, but we can't guarantee them, and in some cases an adjustment or cancellation carries a $50 medical consultation fee.

Because of regulations covering prescription medication, we are unable to accept returned medication for a refund.

Do I need insurance, and can I use my HSA or FSA?

No insurance is needed and GobyMeds does not bill insurance. The price you see is the price you pay, with provider consultation and shipping included and no membership fee.

HSA and FSA cards are accepted at checkout, and we can provide a letter of medical necessity if your plan administrator asks for one.

How does the online visit work?

You answer a short health questionnaire and upload a photo ID. A licensed U.S. provider reviews your history, confirms the treatment is appropriate, and writes the prescription. There is no video call to schedule unless your provider or your state requires one, and follow-up messaging with your care team is included with every plan.

If you're not a candidate, you'll be told why and refunded in full.
