In 60 seconds

Body recomposition research pairs incretin multi-agonists with GH-secretagogues to investigate simultaneous visceral adipose lipolysis, GLUT4 glucose uptake, and lean muscle sparing.

  • Retatrutide (GLP-1/GIP/glucagon) is studied for tri-receptor energy expenditure acceleration.
  • Tesamorelin and Ipamorelin are studied for preserving muscle tissue during fat reduction.
  • Supplied strictly for scientific and laboratory research.

What it is

Incretin receptor agonists and growth hormone releasing peptides.

What researchers looked at

Visceral fat-to-muscle ratio, hepatic lipid clearance, HOMA-IR insulin sensitivity, and basal metabolic rate.

What’s still unknown

Long-term receptor desensitization kinetics under high-volume recomposition protocols.

Research synergies · compounds that fit together

Ipamorelin + Tesamorelin

Growth hormone release is controlled from two receptors: the GHRH receptor and the ghrelin receptor. Tesamorelin is a GHRH analogue; Ipamorelin is a selective ghrelin-receptor agonist. Human studies of the two receptor classes given together report a larger GH response than either alone, which is the reasoning behind the Recomposition stack.

NAD+ + MOTS-c

NAD+ is the coenzyme that mitochondria use to turn food into cellular energy and that sirtuin enzymes depend on; its levels fall with age. MOTS-c is a peptide encoded in mitochondrial DNA, studied for activating AMPK, the cell’s energy sensor. One is the fuel carrier, the other a signal about how to use it.

  • IpamorelinIn animal research, Ipamorelin was reported to counteract glucocorticoid-induced loss of bone and muscle. PMID 11735244
  • MOTS-cMOTS-c levels respond to exercise, which links this mitochondrial peptide to exercise physiology research. PMID 34520826
  • TesamorelinClinical research has measured Tesamorelin’s effect on liver fat as well as visceral fat. PMID 25038357

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Which peptides are studied for aggressive body recomposition?

Two primary research classes: Incretin multi-agonists (such as Retatrutide, a GLP-1/GIP/glucagon triple agonist, and Tirzepatide, a dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist) studied for appetite regulation and metabolic rate, alongside GH-secretagogues (Tesamorelin, Ipamorelin) for preserving lean muscle mass during caloric deficits. Supplied strictly for research use.

How does glucagon receptor agonism in Retatrutide impact energy expenditure?

Preclinical and clinical trial data show glucagon receptor activation increases basal hepatic energy turnover and accelerates brown adipose tissue thermogenesis, driving preferential visceral fat oxidation while maintaining lean tissue.

What is studied regarding insulin sensitivity and glucose handling?

Dual GIP/GLP-1 and triple agonists enhance pancreatic beta-cell insulin secretion dynamics and promote peripheral GLUT4 translocation in skeletal muscle, dramatically lowering homeostatic model insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) in research models.
