Dual vs Triple Receptor Agonists
Tirzepatide activates both GIP and GLP-1 pathways to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce appetite. Retatrutide adds glucagon receptor activation, which increases energy expenditure and targets fat cells directly.
While Retatrutide shows faster weight loss in clinical settings, it can cause higher heart rate increases. Tirzepatide has a longer track record of safety data.
Pricing and Sourcing Comparison
Due to its newer synthesis requirements, Retatrutide is more expensive. At Amino Club, a 5mg Retatrutide vial is $96.00 with code MINUS20, while a 10mg Tirzepatide vial is $88.00.
