TIRZEPATIDE 30MG PEN - HD LABS

🔬 What Tirzepatide Does

Tirzepatide is a dual GIP + GLP-1 receptor agonist. Compared to Semaglutide, it usually gives:

Stronger appetite suppression

Better blood sugar control

Faster fat loss

Less food noise / cravings

It works by:

Slowing gastric emptying

Increasing satiety

Improving insulin sensitivity

🎯 Who It’s Best For

✔️ Fat loss (especially stubborn belly fat)

✔️ Insulin resistance / pre-diabetes

✔️ People who struggled with Semaglutide plateaus

✔️ Recomp phases (fat loss while holding muscle)

⚠️ Not ideal if:

History of pancreatitis

Gallbladder disease

Medullary thyroid cancer (MEN2)

Severe GI sensitivity

💉 Injection Basics

Route: Subcutaneous

Sites: Belly (preferred), thigh, or upper glute

Frequency: Once weekly, same day each week

Time: Any time of day (consistency matters more)

📈 START LOW – TITRATION PROTOCOL (VERY IMPORTANT)

Even though the pen is 30 mg total, you do NOT start high.

✅ Beginner / First-Time GLP-1 User

Weeks 1–4

2.5 mg once weekly

Weeks 5–8

5 mg once weekly

Weeks 9–12

7.5 mg once weekly (optional)

Most fat loss happens 5–7.5 mg. Higher is not better, just harsher.

✅ Experienced GLP-1 User (Semaglutide before)

Weeks 1–2

5 mg weekly

Weeks 3–6

7.5 mg weekly

Weeks 7–12

10 mg max if needed

⚠️ Going above 10 mg greatly increases nausea with little extra fat loss.

🧠 Expected Results

Appetite drop: Week 1–2

Scale weight drop: Week 2–4

Visible fat loss: Week 4–6

Best belly fat reduction when combined with:

High protein

Resistance training

Steps/cardio

🧂 Side Effects & How to Manage Them

Common

Nausea

Fullness

Constipation

Reflux

Reduce sides by: ✔️ Eating slower

✔️ Smaller meals

✔️ Avoiding fatty/fried foods

✔️ Staying hydrated

✔️ Adding electrolytes

✔️ Magnesium (200–400 mg at night)

If nausea hits → do NOT increase dose yet

🛡️ Support Supplements (Recommended)

Electrolytes daily

Magnesium glycinate

Digestive enzymes

Fiber (psyllium husk or veggies)

Protein target: minimum 1.6–2.2 g/kg

🏋️ Training While on Tirzepatide

To avoid muscle loss:

Lift 3–5×/week

Prioritize protein

Do not crash calories

Steps > extreme cardio

GLP-1s + no lifting = skinny-fat ❌

⏸️ How Long to Run It

12–16 weeks is ideal

Can be extended at low maintenance dose (2.5–5 mg) if needed

No PCT required

⚠️ Important Notes

This is not a “shredded pen” on its own

Fat loss is systemic – spot reduction is a myth

Results depend heavily on diet + training
