How it works

Tirzepatide activates both the GIP and GLP-1 receptors. This dual incretin action enhances insulin sensitivity and secretion, suppresses appetite and slows gastric emptying, often producing greater weight loss than GLP-1 mono-agonists in clinical trials. Effects build over months alongside diet and lifestyle changes.
