GIP is another gut hormone that: Enhances insulin secretion alongside GLP-1 May have direct effects on fat tissue Works synergistically with GLP-1 pathway activation By targeting two receptor systems instead of one, tirzepatide achieves what researchers call dual agonismpotentially amplifying metabolic effects beyond what either pathway could achieve alone
GLP-1 medications are prescription drugs containing synthetic peptides that directly activate GLP-1 receptors, producing significant weight loss of 15-21% over 72 weeks
