RETATRUTIDE 32MG PEN - HD LABS

🔬 What is Retatrutide?

Retatrutide is a triple-agonist:

GLP-1 → appetite suppression, better insulin sensitivity

GIP → improved fat loss + metabolic efficiency

Glucagon receptor (GCGR) → increases energy expenditure & fat burning

👉 Compared to Semaglutide or Tirzepatide, retatrutide tends to:

Reduce more fat

Cause less muscle loss

Increase metabolic rate, not just appetite suppression

🎯 What it’s used for

Fat loss (including stubborn belly fat)

Improved insulin sensitivity

Appetite control

Recomposition (fat loss + muscle retention)

💉 Administration
