Dr. Joy Kong breaks down the peptides marketed for weight loss: semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy), tirzepatide (a dual-acting GLP-1 and GIP agonist), and retatrutide, which activates three receptors and is sometimes called "GLP-3" despite no such thing actually existing.
What's all this fuss about GLP? Agnes so people are talking about GLP 1, 2, 3 but really what's relevant to you is what actually works. So what are these we're talking about? The most popular one is semaglutide that was made very famous by Kardashians that will include Ozempic or vegovy so those two has revolutionized the weight loss industry. And then it comes to the Tirzepatide which is dual acting so it acts on GLP1 and GIP receptors so this peptide will give you less side effects and can work very well. Sometimes people use it in conjunction with the semaglutide and that can work quite well as well. But the more popular one now is called retatrudide and that one was there was misnomer people call it GLP3 is really because it's acting on through three receptors that's GLP1, GIP and glucagon and that's supposed to have superior efficacy so that has been all the rage these days. So which one would you pick.
