Pair page — what's published on the two together

Hexarelin with Sermorelin

Studied together in 1996: IV hexarelin with GHRH(1-29)NH2, the molecule sold as sermorelin, released more GH than either alone.

The receipt

3 studies gave them to people together

Human pilots · 3 small human studies (1996)

Evidence on the combination
Human pilots

Massoud et al., Clin Endocrinol 1996 · Massoud et al., J Clin Endocrinol Metab 1996 · Giustina et al., 1996

What each does alone

Mechanism overlap · reasoning, not evidence

Hexarelin
Peptide — GHRP (Growth Hormone-Releasing Peptide)
Sermorelin
Peptide — GHRH Analog, Growth Hormone Secretagogue

Reasoning, not evidence: what each is described to do says nothing about what they do together.

What the studies found

Healthy men, repeated IV doses (Massoud et al., Clin Endocrinol 1996)

Healthy men, low-dose hexarelin (Massoud et al., J Clin Endocrinol Metab 1996)

Men with type 1 diabetes (Giustina et al., 1996)

The studies used single IV doses in a lab, not the daily injections people run.

Legal Status

Current Status — September 2026

Hexarelin: Gray market. No FDA ruling — not on any list.

Sermorelin: Compounded Rx. Once an approved drug (Geref, 1990–2008); compounded legally today.
