Tesamorelin
FDA-approved, for one specific condition.
Grade A: Strong human proof
Big trials in people, and it worked.
The grade is for the use people talk about, not for every use. Filed under: Growth hormone boosters.
How it works
Copies the body's own signal to release growth hormone.
How it was given in studies
Injection under the skin, in the approval trials and on the FDA label.

What studies saw
Two 26-week trials found less deep belly fat in people with HIV-related fat buildup.

When it showed up, in studies
Less deep belly fat after 26 weeks, in people with HIV-related fat buildup.
