Dual GIP/GLP-1 Receptor Agonist — Advanced Metabolic Research Compound
Select Size
Tirzepatide is a 39-amino acid dual GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP-1 receptor agonist with a C20 fatty diacid modification at Lys20 that enables albumin binding and a pharmacokinetic half-life of approximately 5 days, supporting once-weekly dosing. The peptide backbone is based on the native GIP sequence with engineered GLP-1 receptor cross-reactivity, creating an imbalanced dual agonist with approximately 5-fold greater GIP receptor potency relative to its GLP-1 activity. The SURMOUNT-1 clinical trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine demonstrated mean body weight reductions of 20.9-22.5% over 72 weeks at the 10-15mg weekly doses — the largest weight reductions reported for any single-agent pharmacotherapy at the time of publication. GIP receptor activation on pancreatic beta cells potentiates glucose-dependent insulin secretion, while GLP-1 receptor engagement provides appetite suppression, delayed gastric emptying, and additional incretin effects. Tirzepatide shares its mechanism of action with the FDA-approved products Mounjaro and Zepbound, though this PEPCELL product is a research-grade compound manufactured for laboratory investigation, not an FDA-approved pharmaceutical. Active research is investigating tirzepatide's effects on NASH, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, and obstructive sleep apnea.
Published research protocols reference weekly subcutaneous administration. Store refrigerated at 2-8°C. Consult applicable literature for specific research applications.
Published research protocols reference a titration schedule starting at 2.5mg weekly with incremental increases every 4 weeks up to 15mg. Consult applicable literature for specific research applications.
Simultaneously activates GIP and GLP-1 receptors through a single peptide molecule with approximately 5-fold greater GIP potency relative to GLP-1 activity. This imbalanced dual agonism distinguishes tirzepatide from both pure GLP-1 agonists and balanced dual agonists, with GIP receptor engagement providing beta-cell insulin potentiation and potential adipose tissue remodeling effects.

Research Studies
The SURMOUNT-1 trial (n=2,539) demonstrated mean body weight reductions of 20.9% (10mg) and 22.5% (15mg) over 72 weeks — the largest reductions observed for any single-agent compound in controlled clinical research at the time. Over one-third of participants in the highest dose group achieved weight reductions exceeding 25% of baseline body weight.

Research Studies
The SURPASS clinical trial program demonstrated HbA1c reductions of 2.0-2.6 percentage points across dose groups in subjects with type 2 diabetes, with up to 97% of participants achieving HbA1c below 7.0%. These glycemic improvements exceeded those observed with comparator GLP-1 agonists in head-to-head studies.

Research Studies
Tirzepatide is the same active peptide molecule found in FDA-approved Mounjaro (for type 2 diabetes) and Zepbound (for weight management). However, this PEPCELL product is a research-grade compound manufactured for laboratory investigation and is not an FDA-approved pharmaceutical. It is not manufactured by Eli Lilly and is not a substitute for prescribed medications.
GIP receptor activation on pancreatic beta cells potentiates glucose-dependent insulin secretion through a signaling pathway complementary to GLP-1. Research also suggests GIP signaling may promote adipose tissue remodeling and improve lipid handling. The dual agonism produces larger metabolic effects than GLP-1 activation alone, as demonstrated in head-to-head clinical trials where tirzepatide outperformed semaglutide.
Reconstitute lyophilized tirzepatide with bacteriostatic water, injecting slowly along the vial wall. The C20 fatty diacid acylation provides excellent solution stability. Do not shake — gentle swirling is acceptable. After reconstitution, store at 2-8°C and use within 30 days.
Each tirzepatide batch undergoes independent HPLC purity analysis and mass spectrometry identity verification at Janoshik Analytical Laboratory. Current batches test at 99.9% purity — our highest-purity metabolic peptide. Batch-specific Certificates of Analysis are available for every lot.
This research-grade tirzepatide is sold exclusively for in-vitro research, laboratory investigation, and educational purposes. It is not an FDA-approved drug product, is not manufactured to pharmaceutical GMP standards, and is not intended for human consumption or self-administration. Individuals seeking tirzepatide for medical use should consult a physician about FDA-approved options.
