Tirzepatide

Overview

Metabolic modulation based on integrated hormonal signaling.

Mechanism of action

For a consumer facing scientific description, it’s best to highlight that tirzepatide is not a supplement or simple “peptide” in the casual sense—it is a regulated pharmaceutical with defined manufacturing, clinical trial data, and prescription oversight.

Regulatory status (U.S.): Tirzepatide is an FDA approved prescription medication (marketed as Mounjaro for type 2 diabetes and Zepbound for chronic weight management under specific criteria). Its approved labeling includes well characterized safety information and contraindications; for example, GLP 1 based therapies carry specific warnings (including a boxed warning in U.S. labeling related to thyroid C cell tumors observed in rodents).

Tirzepatide is a 39–amino acid modified peptide designed to activate two hormone receptors involved in metabolic regulation: GIP (glucose dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptors and GLP 1 (glucagon like peptide 1) receptors. By engaging these pathways, tirzepatide helps regulate glucose control and appetite and food intake signals, which is why it has become clinically important in cardiometabolic medicine.
