Semaglutid
Long-acting agonist at the GLP-1 receptor. Structurally a modified glucagon-like peptide 1 whose long half-life is achieved via a fatty-acid side chain and reversible albumin binding. Acts centrally on satiety and peripherally on glucose-dependent insulin secretion and delayed gastric emptying.
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide is a 39-amino-acid peptide acting as a dual agonist at the GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptors. Activation of both incretin receptors via G-protein-coupled signalling raises insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner, lowers glucagon secretion and delays gastric emptying. Centrally, satiety perception is modulated. A fatty-acid side chain binds to serum albumin and extends the half-life to about five days.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between Semaglutid and Tirzepatide?
- Semaglutid is classified as "Metabool", while Tirzepatide is classified as "Metabool". Semaglutid: Long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonist. Approved as a medicinal product for type-2 diabetes (Ozempic, Rybelsus), chronic weight management (Wegovy) and cardiovascular risk in obesity. One of the best-studied substances on this platform — many large human RCTs. Tirzepatide: Synthetic peptide that simultaneously activates the GLP-1 and GIP receptor (dual agonist). Approved in the US and EU for type 2 diabetes (Mounjaro) and obesity (Zepbound). This page contrasts both neutrally and source-based — with no usage or dosing recommendation.
- Which peptide is better supported by science, Semaglutid or Tirzepatide?
- The highest available evidence level is "Humane RCT" for Semaglutid and "Humane RCT" for Tirzepatide. A higher evidence level means more robust data, but says nothing about suitability for an individual. The full body of evidence is on each peptide's own page.
- What is the legal status of Semaglutid and Tirzepatide in Germany and the United States?
- Duitsland: Semaglutid — Op recept, Tirzepatide — Op recept. Verenigde Staten: Semaglutid — Op recept, Tirzepatide — Op recept. These are factual summaries with source and review date on the individual pages.
