Targets appetite regulation and supports energy expenditure
May increase metabolic activity
May promote greater weight loss and fat reduction in studies
Affects an additional pathway (glucagon) to support metabolism
Retatrutide is an experimental, once-weekly injectable drug (also known as LY3437943) designed for weight loss and type 2 diabetes management, currently in Phase 3 trials. It acts as a "triple agonist" (Triple G), targeting three hormone receptors—GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon—to suppress appetite, increase satiety, and boost energy expenditure.
Mechanism of Action: While targeting GIP and GLP-1 slows digestion, the addition of glucagon stimulation helps speed up metabolism and fat burning.
Metabolic Benefits: In addition to weight loss, studies indicate potential for significant reductions in liver fat and improvements in glucose control (HbA1c).
