Tirzepatide, often referred to in the context of GLP-1 T 30MG, is a dual-action injectable medication that targets both GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptors.
Dual Hormone Action: GLP-1 + GIP:
GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1)
Released after eating to help regulate blood sugar.
Stimulates insulin: Helps your body lower blood sugar by releasing insulin from the pancreas.
Suppresses glucagon: Reduces the hormone that raises blood sugar.
Slows gastric emptying: Keeps food in your stomach longer, which helps you feel full.
Reduces appetite: Signals your brain that you're satisfied.
GIP (Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide)
Also released after meals.
Enhances insulin sensitivity: Helps your body use insulin more effectively.
Supports fat metabolism: May help reduce fat storage and improve energy use.
Amplifies GLP-1 effects: Works synergistically to boost weight loss and metabolic control.

WHAT IT IS
HOW IT WORKS
POTENTIAL BENEFITS
DISCLAIMER
-
Drug Class: It’s a GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist, meaning it mimics natural gut hormones to regulate blood sugar and appetite.
-
Brand Names: Commonly sold as Mounjaro (for type 2 diabetes) and Zepbound (for weight loss).
-
Dosage Forms: Available in single-dose pens ranging from 2.5 mg to 15 mg per injection, typically administered once weekly.
Why It’s So Effective
Compared to older GLP-1 drugs like semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy), tirzepatide’s dual mechanism offers:
-
Greater weight loss: Up to 20% of body weight in clinical trials.
-
Better blood sugar control: Especially for people with type 2 diabetes.
-
Improved metabolic health: Including cholesterol and blood pressure benefits.
