Sermorelin Rx, 1000mcg per troche. A troche (pronounced: tro-key) is a small, lozenge-like tablet designed to dissolve slowly in the mouth, under the tongue (sublingually). PLEASE NOTE: Your Rx may be for 250mcg, 500mcg or 1000mcg.
Sermorelin is a 29 amino acid Peptide precursor of Growth Hormone. It is known as a growth hormone releasing factor (GHRF) because it stimulates the release of Growth Hormone rather than acting as a copy of GH. The Peptide Sermorelin was first FDA approved in 2001 for use as a safe alternative to Growth Hormone daily injections. It has been found to be best suited for its anti-aging benefits in middle aged men and women to boost the levels of IGF-1.Sermorelin supplementation as a Growth Hormone releasing factor, has been found to reverse age-related symptoms leading to decreased thinning, sagging and wrinkling of the skin, preventing thinning of the bones and cartilage, decreasing body fat, increasing lean muscle mass, preventing build-up of cholesterol plaque, increasing stamina and energy, as well as improving cognitive mental function. When GH levels fall below the optimal range, supplementation with Sermorelin can boost the body’s internal supply and produce significant and noticeable anti-aging benefits in cellular vitality and regeneration.

- Troches are not meant to be swallowed whole like traditional pills. Instead, they are placed in the mouth and allowed to dissolve gradually.
- As the troche dissolves, the medication is absorbed through the mucous membranes lining the mouth, directly entering the bloodstream.
- This method of administration bypasses the digestive system and liver, leading to quicker onset of action and potentially higher bioavailability of the medication.
2. Benefits of Troches:
- Faster Onset of Action: Medication absorbed directly into the bloodstream can work more quickly compared to pills that need to be digested and metabolized.
- Avoidance of First-Pass Metabolism: By bypassing the liver, troches can reduce the breakdown of certain medications and potentially lead to lower effective dosages.
- Easier for Some Patients: Troches can be a good alternative for individuals who have difficulty swallowing pills or for medications that might cause stomach upset.
- Customizable: Compounding pharmacies can customize troches to include specific medications, dosages, and even flavors to improve palatability.
