Retatrutide Bio

Retatrutide's 24.2% is real. It is also still an unfinished experiment.

In its 48-week phase 2 trial, retatrutide's 12 mg dose cut body weight by a mean 24.2%, a bigger number than any published phase 3 mean for the approved incretin drugs (tirzepatide 20.9%, semaglutide 14.9%). Here is what the sellers quoting that number omit: it comes from 338 people at phase 2, the 14 phase 3 registry records have posted zero results, FDA lists zero approved retatrutide products, and federal law prohibits compounding it. We publish the spectacular numbers and their trial stage together.
