Recovery & Repair
Growth Hormone Secretagogues
Discussed for recovery and sleep
A class of peptides that prompt the pituitary to release its own growth hormone naturally — used to support recovery, body composition, and deeper sleep in adults whose levels have declined.
Overview
This class of peptides stimulates the pituitary's own pulsatile release of growth hormone rather than introducing exogenous hormone. They are discussed in the context of recovery, body composition, and sleep architecture in adults whose endogenous secretion has declined. Sermorelin has the longest clinical history; ipamorelin and CJC-class peptides are studied more in mechanistic and small-trial settings.
Evidence: emerging human research
In consultation, clients often ask
The difference between stimulating my own growth hormone and taking exogenous HGH.
What baseline labs and follow-up monitoring look like.
Regulatory & sourcing
Sermorelin was previously FDA-approved (Geref, withdrawn for commercial reasons). Ipamorelin and CJC-1295 are currently Category 2 / not on the 503A bulks list. Tesamorelin is FDA-approved for a specific HIV-related indication only. Sourcing and applicability are determined with the nurse practitioner.

Peptide therapy at Jaed Aesthetics is offered as a private wellness consultation service. None of the peptides discussed on this menu are FDA-approved for the wellness areas described, and some are investigational or available only through compounding pharmacies operating under FDA Sections 503A or 503B. Several peptides on this menu have primarily pre-clinical or animal evidence and limited published human data; we note this honestly under each entry. Any decision to proceed, the specific peptide selected, route of administration, dosing, monitoring, and pricing are determined one-on-one with our nurse practitioner during consultation. Nothing on this page constitutes medical advice, a diagnosis, or a treatment recommendation.
