GIP (Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide)
Metabolic & Weight ManagementNatural incretin hormone, target of tirzepatide and dual agonists.
Key Benefits
- ✓Stimulates insulin secretion
- ✓Regulates fat metabolism
- ✓Natural incretin
- ✓Target of dual agonists
Dosing Information
Detailed Protocol
Natural hormone not therapeutically supplemented. Dual GIP/GLP-1 agonists (tirzepatide) target this system for enhanced weight loss and metabolic effects.
About GIP (Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide)
GIP is a 42-amino acid incretin hormone secreted by K-cells in the small intestine. It stimulates insulin secretion and has effects on fat metabolism. Target receptor for tirzepatide and other dual agonists. Natural hormone with short half-life.
Research Notes
Natural incretin working with GLP-1. Dual agonists (tirzepatide, retatrutide) targeting both GIP and GLP-1 show superior weight loss. GIP role complex - initially thought anti-obesity target.
