1) RETATRUTIDE – 20 mg / 10 mg

Triple Receptor Metabolic Agonist (GLP-1 + GIP + Glucagon)

What it is
Retatrutide is a next-generation investigational compound developed to target three metabolic hormone pathways involved in appetite, blood sugar balance, and energy expenditure.

How it works (simple)

  • Helps regulate appetite signals

  • Supports glucose management

  • Encourages increased energy use and fat-burning processes

Research insights
In phase-2 studies, Retatrutide showed significant reductions in body weight and improved metabolic markers, making it one of the most closely watched compounds in obesity research.

Wellness interest
People explore it educationally for:

  • Body-composition support

  • Appetite and craving control

  • Metabolic wellness

Safety notes
Common side effects reported in trials include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and occasionally increased heart rate. Long-term safety is still under study.

Regulatory status
Not FDA-approved; currently an investigational medication.

2) TESAMORELIN – 10 mg

What it is
Tesamorelin is a synthetic growth-hormone–releasing hormone analog. It is FDA-approved (as Egrifta) only for HIV-associated visceral fat accumulation.

How it works
Stimulates natural GH → increases IGF-1 → influences fat redistribution and metabolism.

Research insights
Large clinical trials showed significant reductions in visceral fat while preserving subcutaneous fat.

Wellness interest
Often explored educationally for:

  • Visceral-fat / waistline support

  • Metabolic optimization

Safety notes
May cause injection-site irritation, water retention, joint discomfort, or changes in glucose markers.

3) IPAMORELIN – 10 mg
