Overview
What is Tirzepatide?
Compounded tirzepatide is a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and GLP-1 receptor agonist. As the first of its class, tirzepatide activates two separate hormone pathways simultaneously, resulting in superior weight loss compared to GLP-1 monotherapy. Clinical trials (SURMOUNT-1) demonstrated average weight loss of 20–22% body weight — the highest ever recorded in a pharmaceutical weight-loss trial.
Mechanism of action
How it works
Tirzepatide activates both GIP and GLP-1 receptors. GLP-1 activation suppresses appetite and slows digestion; GIP activation further enhances insulin sensitivity and may directly affect fat storage in adipose tissue. The combined dual-receptor agonism produces synergistic weight loss effects that exceed those of GLP-1 agents alone.
