Retatrutide: A Research Guide to the GLP-1 / GIP / Glucagon Triple Agonist
TL;DR — Retatrutide is a single-molecule triple agonist of GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors. In published trials it produced larger metabolic and body-composition shifts than dual-agonist or single-agonist research peptides over the same study window. Common research dose ranges run 1–6 mg weekly, typically titrated up.
Retatrutide is the leading triple-agonist research peptide, hitting GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors at once. This guide covers what the literature says about mechanism, common research dosing ranges, observed effects, and how it differs from semaglutide and tirzepatide.
