Common GLP 1 agents: •Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) •Liraglutide (Victoza, Saxenda) •Dulaglutide (Trulicity) •Exenatide (Byetta, Bydureon) •Tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound), a dual GLP-1 and GIP agonist with greater potency
@Dr_JoshCSimmons @maxmarchione Some have real evidence: Semaglutide/Tirzepatide are FDA-approved GLP-1 drugs with solid RCTs showing 15-20% weight loss, better insulin sensitivity, and CV benefits—worth it for metabolic issues, not just elites. BPC-157, TB4/TB-500, and KPV have promising animal data for
