Tirzepatide is a dual-agonist , meaning it works by targeting two hormones: GLP-1: helps regulate appetite, blood sugar, and digestion GIP: supports insulin response and reduces nausea Retatrutide is a triple-agonist , meaning it targets three hormones: GLP-1: helps regulate appetite, blood sugar, and digestion GIP: supports insulin response and reduces nausea Glucagon: affects energy use and fat metabolism Early studies show that retatrutide may be more successful than tirzepatide at managing diabetic kidney disease, as well as for weight control, while tirzepatide may be better at managing blood glucose
Individual peptide use costs half that but delivers less than half the metabolic outcome due to cofactor and pathway limitations
