What is the sermorelin timeline?
Short answer
Weeks 1–4: sleep depth, modest recovery shifts. Months 1–3: body composition and recovery compound. Months 3–6: more durable shifts. Recalibration includes IGF-1 and glucose monitoring.

Full answer
Sermorelin (GHRH analog) acts through endogenous growth hormone release. Sleep depth and modest recovery shifts often appear within the first 1–4 weeks. Body composition and recovery shifts compound over 1–3 months and continue over 3–6 months. IGF-1, fasting glucose, and HbA1c are monitored because growth hormone affects glucose handling. Expectations are framed: sermorelin is a supportive lever, not a primary therapy. Every adjustment is provider-reviewed against biomarkers and goals.
