Further, clinical trials show that long-acting GLP-1 medicines decrease cardiovascular events in individuals with T2D or obesity
Semaglutide Wegovy / Ozempic Mechanism: GLP-1 receptor agonist (single target) Weight loss: ~15-17% body weight (STEP trials, 68 weeks) Dosing: Weekly injection, titrated from 0.25mg to 2.4mg Common side effects: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation (typically transient) Availability: Longer track record, more widely available Cardiovascular data: SELECT trial demonstrated 20% reduction in major cardiovascular events Tirzepatide Zepbound / Mounjaro Mechanism: Dual GLP-1 + GIP receptor agonist (two targets) Weight loss: ~20-22% body weight (SURMOUNT trials, 72 weeks) Dosing: Weekly injection, titrated from 2.5mg to 15mg Common side effects: Similar GI profile to semaglutide
Glutathione Precursors: NAC (N-acetyl cysteine)
The goal here is stasisto keep the peptide as inert as possible until you're ready to use it
