Did you know our body has different types of fat and hormones that work to burn them? Let’s break it down simply!

First please understand this:
#tirzepatide is mainly GIP and has no Glucagon

#retatrutide has 9X more GIP than tirz AND also Glucagon

Tirzepatide and Retatrutide have this, semaglutide does not.

GIP (Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide) targets white fat:

Increases Lipolysis: Breaks down more fat.
Decreases Lipogenesis: Reduces fat storage.
Think of GIP as your body’s way of tackling the fat most of us want to lose!

(Only retatrutide has this)

Glucagon targets brown fat:

Increases Thermogenesis: Activates brown fat to heat up and burn calories.
Imagine glucagon turning on a furnace in your body that burns calories to keep you warm!

In a nutshell: GIP helps break down and reduce the white fat, while glucagon activates the brown fat to burn more calories. Together, they make a great team for tackling fat and boosting your metabolism!
