Retatrutide

Retatrutide, nicknamed “GLP-3” online after its three receptor targets, is a synthetic triple-receptor agonist peptide synthesised as a GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon receptor agonist, studied in Eli Lilly Phase 2/3 metabolic research for its role in combined GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon receptor activation.

A triple agonist peptide targeting GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon receptors — studied in advanced metabolic and weight-regulation contexts.

What this peptide is for

Triple Receptor Agonist Research.

Retatrutide (CAS 2381089-83-2) combines GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon receptor activation in a single sequence. Phase 2 clinical trials have reported substantial reductions in body weight and improvements in metabolic markers. Formula C223H341N57O64S, MW 4858.60 g/mol. Strict clinical guidance required.

Quality documentation
Batch-by-batch lab verification

Each release is matched with quality documentation through a documented verification path. Identity, purity, and composition test results sit on the product page before you buy.

Quality documentation
ISO/IEC 17025-accredited lab testing

Every batch is verified by an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory before release. Identity, purity, and documentation travel with the product — not behind a form.

Storage & shipping
Kept-cold commitment

Sensitive peptides ship in insulated cold packaging with gel packs sized for a 48-hour transit window, tracked door to door.

Questions, answered plainly

Everything worth asking before you order.

Shipping, storage, quality, and when to speak to a clinician — without the runaround.

What proof of quality comes with my order?

Every batch ships with a batch code printed on the vial. The matching independent lab report — showing identity, purity, and composition — is linked on the product page and stays on your order page after purchase.

Should I speak to a clinician before using a peptide?

We recommend it — especially if you are pregnant, nursing, managing a medical condition, or combining peptides with prescribed medication. Our product pages are educational. They are not medical advice and they do not replace a conversation with a qualified practitioner.

When will my order ship and arrive?

Orders placed before 14:00 CET Monday–Friday ship the same business day from our European fulfilment centre in The Hague, Netherlands. Standard tracked EU delivery arrives in 2–4 business days; express options are available at checkout.

What does "research only" actually mean on a peptide label?

Research-only means the compound has not been approved by the EMA or any national medicines authority for medical use, and is sold solely for in-vitro and laboratory research. It is not a supplement, a cosmetic, or a medicine, and it carries no claims for human consumption.

Is retatrutide approved or available as a medicine?

No. Retatrutide is a triple agonist of GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors developed by Eli Lilly and currently in Phase 3 trials (TRIUMPH programme). It is not approved by the EMA or FDA, so it cannot be prescribed. Phase 2 data showed up to ~24 percent body-weight reduction at 48 weeks.

What are the most common side effects of GLP-1 peptides specifically?

Across SUSTAIN, SURPASS, SURMOUNT, and TRIUMPH trials, the dominant adverse events for semaglutide, tirzepatide, and retatrutide are gastrointestinal: nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, and abdominal discomfort, usually mild-to-moderate and concentrated during dose titration.

What's the difference between a prescription peptide and a research peptide?

A prescription peptide (e.g. Wegovy, Mounjaro, Vyleesi, Zadaxin in the relevant jurisdictions) has been through EMA or national-authority review, carries an authorised indication, and is dispensed by a pharmacy against a script. A research peptide is a reference-grade compound sold for laboratory use only.

How do I reconstitute a lyophilised peptide vial?

Bring both the lyophilised vial and the bacteriostatic water to room temperature, equalise pressure with a sterile vented needle, then inject the solvent slowly down the side of the vial. Swirl gently — never shake — until clear, and refrigerate at 2–8 °C.

How much bacteriostatic water should I add to my peptide vial?

The calculation is peptide mass (mg) ÷ desired concentration (mg/mL) = volume of bacteriostatic water in mL. For example, a 5 mg vial at 1 mg/mL needs 5 mL; at 2 mg/mL, 2.5 mL. Every Peptyds product page carries a suggested reconstitution volume tuned to the vial size.

How long does a reconstituted peptide stay stable in the fridge?

Most lyophilised peptides reconstituted with bacteriostatic water remain stable for 28–30 days at 2–8 °C, protected from light. A handful of short, fragile sequences — Epithalon among them — drop to roughly 14 days. Never freeze a reconstituted vial.

What side effects are most commonly reported across peptide research?

Across published trials and case series, the most frequent reported events are injection-site reactions (redness, induration, transient discomfort), headache, mild nausea, and temporary fatigue. GLP-1 and dual-agonist class peptides add dose-dependent gastrointestinal effects.

Who should not use peptides?

Peptides are not appropriate for anyone who is pregnant, nursing, planning conception, under 18, managing active cancer, or on immunosuppressants — and competitive athletes governed by WADA must avoid every peptide on the prohibited list. Anyone with a personal or family history of melanoma should specifically avoid melanocortin-receptor agonists.
