Mechanism of Action: Why It Makes Sense for Athletes Sermorelin binds to GHRH receptors in the anterior pituitary, increasing pulsatile GH release and downstream insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) production. Growth hormone and IGF-1 influence several systems relevant to performance: Protein synthesis and muscle repair Collagen formation and tendon remodeling Lipolysis and metabolic efficiency Sleep architecture, particularly slow-wave sleep Because GH secretion is naturally highest during deep sleep, sermorelin is typically administered at night to align with this physiology
Notably, no changes have been observed in running performance during the study period
