Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide — dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist that outperforms single-axis GLP-1 therapy for fat loss and metabolic remodelling.
- Activates both GIP and GLP-1 receptors — broader metabolic coverage than GLP-1 alone
- Clinically demonstrated 20-22% body weight reduction at maximum dose
- Significantly improves insulin sensitivity and HbA1c beyond GLP-1 monotherapy
- Reduces visceral adipose tissue and ectopic fat deposition
- Weekly injection with sustained appetite suppression throughout the dosing interval

How Tirzepatide Works
The mechanism of action, step by step.
Dual Receptor Activation
Tirzepatide acts as a co-agonist at both GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP-1 receptors, engaging two distinct hormonal pathways simultaneously for additive metabolic benefit.
Enhanced Adipose Lipolysis
GIP receptor activation in adipose tissue directly promotes fatty acid release and oxidation, a mechanism absent in GLP-1-only agents and responsible for tirzepatide's superior fat loss outcomes.
Superior Insulin Sensitisation
The combined GIP/GLP-1 signal improves peripheral insulin sensitivity at the muscle and liver level to a greater degree than GLP-1 agonism alone, reducing fasting and postprandial glucose.
Central Appetite Suppression
Hypothalamic and brainstem GLP-1R engagement reduces appetite-driving neural circuits, while GIP receptor signalling in reward-related regions may further blunt hedonic eating.

The Science Behind It
Peer-reviewed research supporting the mechanism of Tirzepatide.
Tirzepatide once weekly for treatment of obesity (SURMOUNT-1)
Participants on tirzepatide 15 mg achieved 20.9% mean weight reduction at 72 weeks versus 3.1% on placebo, with 57% of participants losing at least 20% of body weight.
New England Journal of Medicine, 2022Tirzepatide versus semaglutide for weight loss in adults with obesity (SURMOUNT-5)
In a head-to-head comparison, tirzepatide produced 47% greater relative weight loss than semaglutide 2.4 mg at 72 weeks, establishing its superiority as a single-agent metabolic therapy.
New England Journal of Medicine, 2025Dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonism and adipose tissue remodelling
Tirzepatide produced preferential reduction in visceral and ectopic fat compared to GLP-1 monotherapy, associated with superior improvements in insulin sensitivity and liver fat content.

Verified purchases from Canadian customers.
Better than semaglutide for me
Tried semaglutide for 6 months with decent results. Switched to tirzepatide and the appetite suppression is on another level. Down 31 lbs in 5 months.
The results are unreal
My endocrinologist pointed me to the SURMOUNT data and I decided to try it for research. 3 months in and the visceral fat reduction is visible. Energy is up significantly.
Start slow — worth the patience
First 4 weeks at 2.5 mg were uncomfortable but manageable. By month 2 I was feeling great. Down 18 lbs and the cravings are basically gone.
