Can sermorelin cause cancer?

I've been looking into sermorelin therapy for anti-aging benefits. However, I'm quite concerned about its safety profile. Can sermorelin potentially increase the risk of cancer?

Listen, don't worry unnecessarily. Sermorelin doesn't directly cause cancer, but because it stimulates growth hormone, doctors are very cautious if you have a history of tumors. Just have an open talk with your doctor before starting.

Sermorelin is just trying to get your pituitary gland to do its job, it is not a cancer-causing monster! But jokes apart, if you already have active cancer, increasing growth hormone isn't a bright idea. Check with your doc first.

I had some severe hormonal imbalances when I tried growth hormone secretagogues and had to stop immediately. You must be extremely careful with anything that alters hormones. Please get a full checkup and oncological screening done before starting this.

We don't hear about these modern medicines much in our town. But anything that changes how your body grows can be risky, right? Please go to a big city doctor and ask them clearly if it is safe for you.

I always tell people to stick to yoga and good food for longevity instead of these expensive injections. While sermorelin is not proven to cause cancer, playing with growth hormones is risky. Do regular health checkups if you decide to take it.
