Tirzepatide

What is Tirzepatide?

Tirzepatide is a peptide, a very small protein. It acts on two receptors at once: GLP-1 and GIP, both natural gut hormones.

Researchers first studied Tirzepatide for type 2 diabetes and body weight research. Lab protocols often use it once a week because of how long it stays active.

What researchers study it for

• Appetite signals. Labs study how it affects appetite signals through GLP-1 and GIP receptors.
• Insulin sensitivity. Studies look at how it affects the body’s response to insulin.
• Fat and muscle. Researchers study its effect on fat loss and lean tissue in lab models.
• Dosage response. Studies compare the 5 mg and 10 mg vial strengths in weekly protocols.

What you get

Choose a 5 mg or 10 mg vial. It comes as a freeze-dried powder that is mixed with liquid before use.

How to store it

Store the sealed vial in a cool, dry place, away from light. After mixing, keep it in the fridge.
