Tirzepatide Peptide – 5mg
Porduct Overview
Tirzepatide peptide is a synthetic derivative of gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) that possesses simultaneous glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) functionality. This unique combination allows Tirzepatide to effectively lower blood glucose levels, enhance insulin sensitivity, promote feelings of satiety, and accelerate weight loss. Initially developed to combat type 2 diabetes, Tirzepatide has also demonstrated protective effects on the cardiovascular system.

Tirzepatide Benefits
Glycemic Control
Tirzepatide has been reported to significantly reduce blood sugar levels and improve glucose control in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Its dual agonist action is believed to enhance efficacy compared to other anti-diabetic medications, such as GLP-1 agonists and SGLT-2 inhibitors. Notably, it appears to improve insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function.
Weight Loss
Research indicates that Tirzepatide may lead to greater weight loss than GLP-1 agonists like Semaglutide. A meta-analysis of studies involving over 7,000 participants suggested an average weight loss of approximately 5 kg. Moreover, Tirzepatide has been shown to promote significant reductions in body weight, even among individuals without diabetes.
Hepatoprotection
In clinical studies, Tirzepatide has been associated with improved liver function markers in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). It appears to reduce liver enzymes and markers of liver cell death while decreasing liver fat content.
Tirzepatide Side Effects
Tirzepatide may cause various side effects, although not everyone experiences them. Common side effects include: Decreased Appetite, Fatigue, Headaches, Injection Site Reactions
