Sermorelin providers, graded on 4 checks

How to compare sermorelin providers

Sermorelin is sold here in 6 forms: nasal spray, injection, sublingual, lozenge (troche), dissolving tablet and tablet. 42 providers offer an injection, 12 offer something you dissolve under the tongue or swallow, and 5 offer a nasal spray. 30 of the 44 sell it only as an injection; the other 14 offer at least one form you dissolve, spray or swallow. The research behind those routes isn't the same, so read whether sermorelin tablets work before a lower price picks the form for you.

With the form settled, let the grade do the sorting. It counts how many of 4 checks a provider passes: the pharmacy that fills it, a clinician's review before anything ships, a public monthly price, and a catalog free of research-only products. 4 providers pass all 4 checks and 26 pass 3, and the chip row on each card shows where a B lost its Pass. Two B grades can mean very different things. A pharmacy the provider doesn't name is a different question from an experimental product with unresolved regulatory questions.

No sermorelin provider here is a Partner, so inside a grade they simply run A to Z. Neither the grade nor the order reflects price.

Open any provider's name for its full check, with the reason for each outcome read from that provider's own pages. The methodology lists what earns a Pass and what turns one into a Flag.

What the 4 checks look for on a sermorelin order

Licensed US pharmacy. With no approved sermorelin product on the market, the compounding pharmacy is the maker of record for every vial and tablet listed here. 24 providers get a Flag because their pages don't name a dispensing pharmacy with an active license. On this board that check explains 24 of the 40 grades below an A.

Prescriber reviews you first. Current compounded sermorelin has no FDA-approved product label. Historical Geref approval does not establish adult wellness benefits, and a prescription does not waive the compounding conditions. Each of the 44 providers says a clinician reviews your intake before a prescription is written. The check doesn't rate the visit itself. It only asks that the review comes first.

Price shown before signup. 18 of 44 publish a month-to-month sermorelin rate before asking for contact details. A first-month figure, or a price that appears only after the intake questions, is a Flag. Where a provider's own pages disagree with each other, the less favorable reading stands. 26 providers take that Flag here.

No research-only products. Sermorelin itself does not trigger this catalog check. That does not establish that a particular preparation satisfies every compounding requirement. The Flag comes from elsewhere in a catalog. 5 providers on this board sell an experimental product needing regulatory clarification, and the check page names it.

Put together, the 40 sermorelin grades below an A carry 55 Flags: 24 from the pharmacy check, 26 from the price check and 5 from the research-only check. Before you rule out a B, open its check page and see whether the Flag is one you can settle with a single question to the provider.

Sermorelin cost math, from the month to the year

The standing monthly figures run from $100.38 to $330. The middle of the 21 published prices is $199, which comes to $2,388 over a year.

By route, injectable sermorelin starts at $120.65 a month, forms you dissolve or swallow start at $100.38 and nasal sprays start at $199. The lowest figure on a card is that provider's lowest form, so check which one it is before you compare.

The $100.38 floor belongs to Strut Health, a B row. The lowest price on an A row is ARSYNL Rx at $169.99. Choosing a provider with all 4 Passes costs $69.61 more a month at the floor, $835.32 across 12 months.

3 providers charge every 28 days. Goldspan Health's $174 charge annualizes to $2,268.21 over 365 days. A day-zero payment can produce fourteen cash charges in the first 365 days. Confirm the actual dates.

Plan length can move the math as well. A provider may print a lower monthly figure for a prepaid 3- or 6-month supply. This board uses the month-to-month rate a new buyer pays, so ask what you'd owe if you stopped early.

Sermorelin was FDA-approved once, and isn't now

Sermorelin was approved as Geref, for a pituitary test and for children with growth-hormone deficiency. FDA withdrew the approvals in 2009 at the maker's request, and in 2013 it found they weren't withdrawn for safety or effectiveness reasons.

No company has brought an approved version back. Every product on this board is compounded, and adult use for energy, body composition or aging has never been FDA-approved. FDA's 503B list keeps sermorelin in Category 1 while it evaluates it.

With no current label, storage is one more thing the pharmacy decides. Does sermorelin need to be refrigerated? explains why the storage line and use-by date your pharmacy prints are the instructions to follow.
