By engaging the glucagon receptor in addition to the two incretin receptors, retatrutide is hypothesized to add a direct energy-expenditure component to the appetite-suppressing and glucose-regulating effects already established for GLP-1 and GIP agonism
GLP-1s like semaglutide and tirzepatide have proven wildly successful at helping treat type 2 diabetes, manage weight, and deliver a ton of other health benefits, such as improving heart health and reducing addictive behaviors like drinking
Compounded Semaglutide uses the same active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy and can be personalized for lower dosages which are more suitable for Filipino tolerance
Allulose intake must occur with another energy source intake, which must increase blood glucose concentrations as a meal
Regular follow-ups with the healthcare provider will help monitor a patients progress on the medication and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan
