Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide works in two different ways to help manage blood sugar levels. This peptide targets both the GLP-1 and GIP receptors, which are hormones involved in regulating blood sugar and appetite. By activating these receptors, Tirzepatide helps the body produce more insulin when needed, reduces the release of glucose from the liver, and slows down the rate at which food leaves the stomach. This multi-faceted approach helps lower blood sugar levels and can also lead to weight loss.
