What is Retatrutide?
Retatrutide is a metabolic · incretin peptide studied for obesity and weight loss (phase 3) and type 2 diabetes. Below is an educational overview of Retatrutide peptide benefits, mechanism, common research protocols, dosage references, and known side effects.
Retatrutide Mechanism of Action
A synthetic peptide that simultaneously agonizes GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors. The glucagon component is hypothesized to add energy expenditure on top of the appetite suppression and insulinotropic effects of GLP-1/GIP.
