What is Retatrutide?
Research Focus: Weight Loss
Retatrutide is a groundbreaking triple agonist targeting the receptors for GLP-1, GIP (Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide), and Glucagon. This comprehensive approach aims to maximize metabolic benefits and weight loss.
At a Glance
Retatrutide is a single synthetic peptide designed to activate three key metabolic hormone receptors simultaneously. This poly-agonist strategy leverages synergistic pathways for energy balance and glucose regulation. This section provides a general overview of its research context.
About Retatrutide
Retatrutide is a single synthetic peptide designed to activate three key metabolic hormone receptors simultaneously. This poly-agonist strategy leverages synergistic pathways for energy balance and glucose regulation.
How It Works
GLP-1 & GIP Synergy
Primarily responsible for enhancing insulin release, suppressing appetite, and improving glucose tolerance.
Glucagon Contribution
Contributes to increased energy expenditure and fat burning, particularly in adipose tissue and the liver, complementing the incretin effects.
Current Research Insights
Unprecedented Efficacy
Clinical trials have demonstrated unprecedented levels of weight loss with Retatrutide, often exceeding 20% of baseline body weight, positioning it as one of the most potent metabolic agents under research.
Areas of Study
Chronic Weight Management
Investigated for treating obesity and achieving high levels of sustained weight reduction.
Cardiometabolic Diseases
Studied for improving overall metabolic health markers.
Retatrutide is strictly intended for laboratory and clinical research:
