What is tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide is a peptide. A peptide is a very small protein, made of amino acids joined in a chain. Mounjaro is a brand name for tirzepatide. What we stock is a research compound, not a brand product.
Tirzepatide is called a dual agonist. A receptor is a docking spot on a cell. An agonist is a molecule that switches a receptor on. This one switches on two of them.
The first is the GLP-1 receptor. GLP-1 is short for glucagon-like peptide-1. The second is the GIP receptor. GIP is short for glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide. Both are gut hormones the body makes on its own.
It ships as a dry white powder in a sealed vial. A lab must reconstitute it, which means mixing the powder with liquid.
How researchers use tirzepatide
- Dual receptor work. Labs measure how one molecule binds two different receptors.
- Signal studies. Studies track what a cell does once both docking spots switch on.
- Metabolic research. Most published work with it sits in this field.
- Compound comparisons. Studies set it beside semaglutide, which binds one receptor only.
- Dosage response. Lab work compares small mg and mcg amounts. One mg is 1000 mcg.
What we stock
Our vials sit in the tirzepatide category. Each one is quality tested for purity.
Labs often run it next to semaglutide. Both belong to our wider research peptide range.
Mixing supplies are here too. We sell bacteriostatic water and needles and syringes. Or browse the full store.
Shipping in Canada
We ship right across Canada. Delivery takes 3 to 7 business days.
Orders go out with Canada Post or Federal Express. Tracking comes with every order. Orders over $399 CAD ship free.
Every box is plain and unmarked. The label does not say what is inside. You can pay by Interac e-Transfer at checkout.
Common questions
Is tirzepatide the same as Mounjaro?
Mounjaro is a brand name for tirzepatide. We stock the research compound, not the brand.
What does dual agonist mean?
It means one molecule switches on two kinds of receptor. Here those are GLP-1 and GIP.
How does it differ from semaglutide?
Semaglutide binds the GLP-1 receptor only. Tirzepatide binds GLP-1 and GIP.
What form does it come in?
A sealed glass vial of dry powder. Labs mix it with bacteriostatic water before use.
How fast do orders arrive?
Three to five business days across Canada, with tracking.
