Glucagon
Performance & EnduranceNatural pancreatic hormone used for severe hypoglycemia, also being studied for weight loss in combination peptides.
Key Benefits
- ✓Treats severe hypoglycemia
- ✓Raises blood glucose rapidly
- ✓Life-saving for diabetics
- ✓Component of weight loss peptides
- ✓Increases energy expenditure
Dosing Information
Detailed Protocol
For hypoglycemia, administered via intramuscular or subcutaneous injection as emergency treatment. One dose typically sufficient. Keep on hand if on insulin.
About Glucagon
Glucagon is a 29-amino acid peptide hormone produced by pancreatic alpha cells. It raises blood glucose by promoting hepatic glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. FDA-approved emergency treatment for severe hypoglycemia. Also a component of triple agonists like retatrutide.
Research Notes
FDA-approved for decades as hypoglycemia rescue. Also being incorporated into triple agonist peptides for metabolic benefits. Essential emergency medication for diabetics.
