GLP2T - tirzepatide
Every price, divided down to the milligram.
Vendors sell this compound in different vial sizes at different prices, which makes sticker prices useless for comparison. So we divide every listing by its stated peptide content and rank what comes out.

How to read these rows
Verify the COA
A certificate of analysis should come from an independent lab, reference the exact batch number on the label, and be recent. Vendor-issued documents without a named third-party lab carry less weight — the COA row links to what each vendor publishes.
Match the format
Lyophilized vials and sprays are different products with different concentrations. That is why sprays sit outside the $/mg ranking — compare vials to vials, sprays to sprays.
Count the total cost
Shipping fees, free-shipping thresholds and active discount codes can flip which vendor is actually cheapest for your order size. The $/mg figure is the baseline; the shipping and code details finish the math.
How we rank
Rows are ordered by price per mg: listed price divided by stated peptide content, excluding shipping and codes, so every vial competes on the same axis. Each row carries its own $/mg figure, so the size of the gap between vendors is visible, not just the order. Sprays follow the vials, unranked.
The best-documented testing flag goes to the vendor publishing batch-level, third-party certificates. The shipping flag goes to the fastest published delivery from a domestic warehouse. Data is re-checked on a schedule and each row carries its verification date.
Dual GIP + GLP-1 receptor investigational analog
Dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist — next-generation weight loss and metabolic-health peptide.
A 39-residue synthetic peptide reported in the primary literature to engage both the GIP and GLP-1 receptors in in-vitro cAMP assays. For laboratory characterisation only.
GLP2-T — clinical & mechanistic profile
GLP2-T (Tirzepatide) is an FDA-approved dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist. 2026 meta-analyses confirm superiority over semaglutide: -22.1% weight loss vs -17.1% at 12 months, with 95.2% achieving ≥10% loss. SURPASS trials show HbA1c reductions of 1.8-2.4%. Ongoing cardiovascular outcomes study (NCT07096063) compares long-term MACE endpoints vs semaglutide.
Studied applications
- FDA-approved
- GLP2-T (2022) for type 2 diabetes, GLP2-T (2023) for chronic weight management
- Imbalanced dual agonism
- full GIPR agonism (equal to native GIP) + biased partial GLP-1R agonism (favoring cAMP over β-arrestin)
- SURPASS trials
- HbA1c ↓1.8-2.4%, weight ↓7-12 kg; superior to glp1-s and insulin comparators
- SURMOUNT trials
- 15-22.5% body weight loss at 15 mg over 72 weeks (up to 28.7 kg mean reduction)
- Metabolic benefits
- increased adiponectin, reduced branched-chain amino acids, improved insulin sensitivity beyond weight loss
Research constraints & safety notes
- FDA-approved medications (GLP2-T, GLP2-T) require prescription and medical supervision
- Boxed warning
- thyroid C-cell tumor risk based on rodent studies—contraindicated in MTC/MEN2
- Common side effects
- nausea (12-33%), diarrhea, vomiting, constipation—especially during dose escalation
- Research compounds are separate from approved pharmaceutical products
- Not studied in patients with gastroparesis, pancreatitis history, or severe GI disease
Full agonist (in vitro)
In-vitro cAMP assays report full agonism at the GIP receptor. The molecule is described as GIP-biased relative to native peptides.
Partial agonist (in vitro)
In-vitro engagement of the GLP-1 receptor is reduced relative to native GLP-1; described in the primary literature as a partial agonist profile.

GLP2-T is a synthetic 39-amino-acid dual incretin receptor agonist. GLP2-T (Tirzepatide) is an FDA-approved dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist. 2026 meta-analyses confirm superiority over semaglutide: -22.1% weight loss vs -17.1% at 12 months, with 95.2% achieving ≥10% loss. SURPASS trials show HbA1c reductions of 1.8-2.4%. Ongoing cardiovascular outcomes study (NCT07096063) compares long-term MACE endpoints vs semaglutide. It has a molecular formula C225H348N48O68, mass 4813.45 Da. Common synonyms in the literature include Tirzepatide, tirzepatide, and LY3298176.
What it’s studied for
Investigation of GLP2-T to date is clinical-investigational, with the majority of citations concentrated in animal models and in-vitro assays rather than randomized controlled human trials. Published work referencing GLP2-T spans SURPASS clinical trial program (Type 2 Diabetes): Seven Phase 3 trials comparing glp2-t (5, 10, 15 mg weekly) to placebo, glp1-s, insulin degludec, and insulin glargine. SURPASS-2 showed superior HbA1c reductions vs. glp1-s 1 mg (-2.0% to -2.3% vs. -1.9%). SURPASS-CVOT demonstrated non-inferiority for MACE with 10% risk reduction vs. dulaglutide, SURMOUNT clinical trial program (Obesity): SURMOUNT-1 (n=2,539) in non-diabetic adults showed 15 mg dose achieved 22.5% mean weight loss at 72 weeks vs. 2.4% placebo. SURMOUNT-2 in T2D patients showed 14.7% weight loss. SURMOUNT-3 and -4 evaluated weight maintenance and different populations, and Mechanism studies: Research demonstrates glp2-t enhances glucose-dependent insulin secretion more than selective GLP-1 agonists, likely through GIP-mediated potentiation. Studies show preferential fat mass reduction (fat:lean ratio ~8:1) compared to caloric restriction alone. Proposed mechanisms in the literature include GIPR full agonism: mimics native GIP, enhances post-meal insulin secretion, promotes lipid clearance and fat oxidation and GLP-1R biased partial agonism: favors cAMP over β-arrestin signaling, weaker receptor internalization vs native GLP-1. None of this material describes therapeutic outcomes in humans, and No vendor listed here provides dosing guidance for GLP2-T outside laboratory research.
