Key Takeaways
- IGF-1 is the main lab used to adjust the dose over time.

The right number depends on your age, pituitary responsiveness, IGF-1 baseline, and the format you use. A Sermorelin injection is measured differently from a spray or a troche, so the dose on your label is the only one that applies to you.
Getting prescribed Sermorelin
Sermorelin is a prescription compound in the United States, so you need a licensed clinician's order to get it legally. The prescribing process is also where dosing gets personalized. At Rebody, that process happens online: you complete a private health visit, and a licensed U.S. provider reviews it and decides whether Sermorelin fits before anything is prescribed.
Monitoring IGF-1 and dose adjustments
If IGF-1 doesn't move after several weeks, the clinician may change the dose or timing. If it rises and symptoms improve, the dose may stay put. Report injection-site reactions, headache, flushing, swelling, or joint pain. Tested athletes should know USADA treats Sermorelin as prohibited at all times.
What to ask any provider
There's no brand-name Sermorelin on the U.S. market, so the meaningful differences are in the care. Before starting, ask:
Does a licensed clinician review my labs before setting the dose?
How often is IGF-1 rechecked, and who reads the results?
Is the medication prepared by a licensed U.S. 503A compounding pharmacy, with my name and strength on the label?
Can I message my care team about side effects and dose changes?
Rebody’s Sermorelin is prepared by a licensed U.S. 503A compounding pharmacy and shipped free, with no separate consult fee.
How your Sermorelin dose gets set
The answer to "how much Sermorelin per day" isn't a fixed number. It's a starting range that gets refined through labs, symptom tracking, and clinical judgment, in the format you'll actually keep using. Rechecking IGF-1 shows whether your dose is working and keeps your levels within the normal range for your age.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
What is the difference between Ipamorelin and Sermorelin?
Both prompt the pituitary to release growth hormone, but through different receptors. Sermorelin mimics growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) and acts on the GHRH receptor. Ipamorelin is a growth hormone secretagogue that acts on the ghrelin receptor.
