Ask for the result behind the claim

The adult studies were small and short

The older-adult research checked in September 2026 used groups of 10 to 19 people and ran for no more than 16 weeks.

The studies found a rise in growth hormone.

Neither study that measured body fat found a change in it.

One study tested a medicine made by changing part of sermorelin; it did not test sermorelin itself.

A sleep claim needs a sleep result

Older adults in a study took a medicine made by changing part of sermorelin. Their sleep quality was unchanged after 16 weeks.

Ask for the study behind a sleep claim. Look for what people actually reported, the medicine used and how long the study ran.

A children’s growth study answers a different question

The main study behind the old treatment approval enrolled children with a diagnosed growth hormone shortage.

It had no comparison group, so it did not compare sermorelin with no treatment or another treatment.

Ask how a study in children relates to the adult goal being discussed. Keep that explanation beside the claim.

Name a change that matters in daily life

Write down the result you hope for in plain words. Then ask how the plan would judge progress, and what would count as no useful change.
