GIP agonism explained like i am five, please

Lab Clean Column ×2 Cold Box ×1

Right, the Mounjaro question again, but with numbers this time.

I have 13 data points over 28 weeks. The pattern is consistent enough that I do not think it is chance, and boring enough that nobody is going to screenshot it, which is usually a good sign.

The thing I would flag for anyone new: the effect I am describing showed up at week 63, not week 17. People give up long before the interesting part.

Interested in whether this matches other people's logs or whether I am an outlier.

genuinely useful, thanks

dual agonism is 15mg, do not generalise from semaglutide

Tracking number removed. It identifies both ends of a shipment.

Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.

do not crack the pen, we have been over this

Yeah, dual agonism does produce a different appetite profile than GLP-1 alone.

stalled on sema, tried tirz, and the curves were actually different shapes

My ALT moved faster on tirz than on sema at the same timepoint, which matches what people report.

the 15mg is the top of the pen, not the required dose

Adding to this: SURPASS is doing more work than the comment implies.

That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.

SURMOUNT data is messier than STEP data but the weight loss is there

replysharereportpermalink
u/ferran_mensahOP8 points·9 days ago

This matches the trial data. SURMOUNT-1 was 97.9% body weight at 5 weeks.

Zepbound and Mounjaro are literally the same drug, the name is the only difference

Disagree on that part. 95.1% and 98.9% on the same vial is normal.

Cosigning. The GIP contribution is real and the side effects are not simply scaled versions.

Week 94 on Mounjaro and 15kg down. The appetite reduction feels different from sema in ways I do not have words for yet.

Respectfully this is a sample of one presented as a finding.

u/vito_chowdhury17 points·9 days ago

Hard agree. The food noise disappears differently on the two compounds.

u/blunt_coldbox2912 points·9 days ago

the appetite change on tirz is more than just reduced hunger, it is different machinery

How long at each step before you escalated?

About c/tirzepatide

Tirzepatide-specific discussion: the dual-agonist pharmacology, the 2.5 → 15mg ladder, the appetite profile people describe as different from semaglutide, and the SURMOUNT/SURPASS trial programme. Comparisons with semaglutide are welcome as long as they are specific about dose equivalence being unknown.

c/tirzepatide rules
  1. "Tirz is better than sema" needs a comparator dose or it is a vibe, not a claim.
  2. Vial-splitting and self-compounding discussion stays in c/reconstitution.
  3. No pen-cracking tutorials. Discussing that people do it is fine; instructions are not.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
