Retatrutide
Retatrutide — triple GIP/GLP-1/glucagon agonist with the most potent clinical weight loss signal observed in a peptide therapeutic to date.
- Activates GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon receptors — three-axis metabolic engagement
- Phase 2 data: 24% mean body weight reduction at 24 weeks at the highest dose
- Glucagon receptor activation directly drives hepatic fat oxidation and energy expenditure
- Reduces visceral adiposity, liver fat, and triglycerides simultaneously
- Weekly subcutaneous injection with sustained multi-pathway satiety

How Retatrutide Works
The mechanism of action, step by step.
Triple Receptor Co-Agonism
Retatrutide simultaneously activates GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon receptors — three incretin and counterregulatory hormone pathways — producing a broader and more potent metabolic effect than any single or dual agonist.
Glucagon-Driven Energy Expenditure
Glucagon receptor activation increases hepatic glucose output and thermogenesis, directly raising energy expenditure — a mechanism absent in GLP-1 and dual GIP/GLP-1 agents that contributes to retatrutide's superior fat loss.
Hepatic Fat Reduction
The glucagon component drives preferential mobilisation of hepatic lipid stores, reducing liver fat content (NAFLD/MASH) to a greater degree than GLP-1 monotherapy.
Appetite and Satiety Integration
GIP and GLP-1 receptor engagement in the hypothalamus and brainstem suppresses appetite circuits and slows gastric emptying, while glucagon signalling further reduces central hunger drive.

The Science Behind It
Peer-reviewed research supporting the mechanism of Retatrutide.
Retatrutide, a GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon receptor agonist, for people with type 2 diabetes (Phase 2)
At 24 weeks, retatrutide 12 mg produced a 17.5% reduction in body weight in participants with type 2 diabetes, with significant reductions in HbA1c, triglycerides, and liver fat.
Lancet, 2023Retatrutide for obesity — Phase 2 dose-finding trial
In adults with obesity, retatrutide 12 mg weekly produced a mean weight loss of 24.2% at 48 weeks, exceeding the efficacy of all previously approved anti-obesity agents in comparable timeframes.
New England Journal of Medicine, 2023Glucagon receptor contribution to weight loss in triple-axis agonists
The inclusion of glucagon receptor activity in retatrutide was shown to increase resting energy expenditure and preferentially mobilise hepatic and visceral fat beyond what dual GIP/GLP-1 agonism achieves alone.

Verified purchases from Canadian customers.
The most powerful thing I have tried
I had good results on tirzepatide but switched to retatrutide for research. The appetite suppression is noticeably stronger and I am down 28 lbs in 3.5 months. Titrated very slowly.
Visceral fat melting off
My waist measurement has dropped 4 inches in 14 weeks. Bloodwork at 10 weeks showed triglycerides down 40% and liver enzymes normalized. Results are impressive.
Requires careful titration
Started at 2 mg and took 12 weeks to reach 8 mg. The GI effects at higher doses are real — going slow made a big difference. Results at 8 mg are outstanding.
