- What is Sermorelin?
- Sermorelin is a synthetic 29-amino-acid peptide corresponding to the first 29 residues of growth-hormone-releasing hormone, GHRH (1-29). It is studied in research as a GHRH-receptor agonist within the GH axis. Kovalabs supplies it as a lyophilised research peptide for laboratory research use only, not for human or veterinary use.
- Is Sermorelin legal in the UK?
- Sermorelin is not a controlled drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, so it is legal to buy and hold in the UK as a research chemical. Kovalabs supplies it for laboratory research use only. It is not a medicine, cannot be sold for human consumption, and the purchaser is responsible for lawful handling and for compliance with their institution and jurisdiction.
- Is Sermorelin intended for human use?
- No. Sermorelin is supplied strictly for laboratory research use only. It is not for human or veterinary use, is not a dietary supplement or cosmetic, and nothing about its supply implies any human, cosmetic or veterinary application. It is offered solely as a reference compound for non-clinical investigation.
- What does the research on Sermorelin investigate?
- Research describes Sermorelin as a GHRH-receptor agonist acting on the somatotropic (GH) axis in laboratory models, and uses it as a reference standard in anti-doping analysis. These are research-context observations only; they do not establish a human benefit or effect. The mechanistic detail is covered in the linked GHRH research monograph, not on this product page.
- What are the molecular identifiers for Sermorelin?
- Sermorelin has the molecular formula C149H246N44O42S and a molecular weight of 3357.9 g/mol. It is identified by CAS number 86168-78-7 and PubChem CID 16132413. It corresponds to GHRH (1-29), the first 29 residues of growth-hormone-releasing hormone, and is also catalogued as GRF (1-29).
- Is all Sermorelin the same?
- No. Material described as sermorelin can differ in purity and identity between suppliers. Kovalabs releases each batch after independent testing, with purity at 99% or greater by HPLC and identity confirmed against the expected mass. The batch certificate of analysis is the reference point and is available on the CoA page.
- How is Sermorelin supplied and reconstituted?
- Sermorelin is supplied as a white to off-white lyophilised powder. For bench work it is typically reconstituted with a solvent such as bacteriostatic water, a standard laboratory step. The vial strength is a product specification, not a usage instruction. It is supplied for laboratory research use only.
- How should Sermorelin be stored?
- Store the lyophilised solid at -20C, kept dry and protected from light. Once reconstituted for research work, hold the material at 2-8C. Correct storage helps preserve identity and purity over the working period. It remains for laboratory research use only; not for human or veterinary use.
- Is a certificate of analysis available for Sermorelin?
- Yes. Each batch is released with an independent certificate of analysis covering identity and HPLC purity, confirming purity at 99% or greater. The CoA documents the verified identifiers including CAS 86168-78-7 and the expected mass. Current certificates are published on the CoA page.
- What is the difference between Sermorelin and Tesamorelin?
- Both are GHRH-related research peptides in the GH-axis category, but they are distinct molecules with different sequences and identifiers. Sermorelin is GHRH (1-29); Tesamorelin is a separate stabilised GHRH analogue sold as its own research compound. Each is supplied for laboratory research use only, with its own batch CoA.
- Is Sermorelin a peptide or a steroid?
- Sermorelin is a peptide, not a steroid. It is a chain of 29 amino acids corresponding to GHRH (1-29), with the molecular formula C149H246N44O42S. It is supplied as a lyophilised research peptide for laboratory research use only, not for human or veterinary use.
- Where can I buy Sermorelin in the UK?
- Kovalabs supplies Sermorelin in the UK as a research peptide, despatched from the UK with a batch certificate of analysis. It is sold for laboratory research use only and cannot be supplied for human consumption. See the GH-axis category for related research peptides such as Ipamorelin and CJC-1295 (no DAC).
