As a triple agonist , it simultaneously activates three distinct receptor systems [5]: GIP (Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide) receptors enhance insulin secretion and may have direct effects on adipose tissue GLP-1 (Glucagon-like Peptide-1) receptors promote satiety, slow gastric emptying, and improve glucose regulation Glucagon receptors increase energy expenditure and may enhance fat oxidation This multi-receptor targeting strategy distinguishes retatrutide from single-pathway peptides and creates a complex metabolic profile that researchers are still working to fully characterize
Together, they imbue milk thistle with strong antioxidant properties, which may help prevent cell damage and protect glutathione supply

Some researchers add BPC-157 or GHK-Cu to this stack for additional tissue repair and recovery benefits
This is perhaps due to its side-effect profile, which includes gastrointestinal distress, diarrhea, acute hepatitis, and hypoglycemia (8)
