What is compounded Tirzepatide?

Tirzepatide is the active ingredient in FDA-approved medications like Mounjaro® and Zepbound®, both known for delivering superior weight loss and metabolic health benefits compared to Semaglutide alone. Compounded Tirzepatide is a dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist, making it more advanced than Semaglutide, which only targets GLP-1. This dual action helps regulate blood sugar more effectively, enhances insulin sensitivity, and promotes greater weight loss by reducing appetite and slowing digestion.
