What Is It?
A dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist. It activates two hunger-regulating pathways instead of one. Brand name Mounjaro. The most effective weight management compound in clinical trials to date.
How Does It Work?
Activates both GIP and GLP-1 receptors simultaneously. GLP-1 suppresses appetite and slows gastric emptying. GIP improves insulin sensitivity and may enhance fat metabolism. Think of semaglutide as turning down one dial — tirzepatide turns down two.
Primary Benefits
- Superior weight loss vs semaglutide in head-to-head trials
- Blood sugar regulation
- Improved insulin sensitivity
- Cardiovascular benefit signals
