the phase 2 question that gets asked weekly, answered properly

Caution Clean Column ×1 Slow Clap ×3

Trying to settle this properly because the thread from last year went in circles.

The claim: glucagon matters. The counter-claim: it is measurement error. Both sides have been asserting it confidently for about 24 months without either producing anything.

What would actually settle it is 39 people measuring the same thing the same way. I have started; my numbers are below. They lean one way but not strongly enough for me to declare victory.

If you have data, post the data. If you have an opinion, flair it as an opinion.

This is correct. Triple agonism is genuinely different.

The glucagon component does different things than dual agonism. The sulphur burps are not just amplified versions.

nobody should be giving this to anyone without extensive monitoring

The heart rate signal in TRIUMPH is real and concerning. Higher doses had higher mean HR changes.

Strongly agree. Heart rate escalation needs the actual data, not impressions.

u/careful_gradient_notes55 points·29 days ago

TRIUMPH data is phase 2, not phase 3, smaller n and shorter

phase 2 numbers are not maintenance numbers, cite the trial

Every time this gets posted it hits the front page and every time someone has to re-explain it.

Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.

Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.

research use only, handling and analysis, not protocols

u/kofi_balogun127 points·29 days ago

Small correction: the trial was 14 weeks, not 38. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

retatrutide is not approved anywhere for human use, posts must not read as instructions

triple agonism is phase 2, do not generalise

u/honest_syringe_2025-35 points·28 days ago

What was the dosing schedule in that arm?

u/kofi_balogun88 points·28 days ago

You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.

u/nikhil_lindqvist59 points·28 days ago

Are you quoting phase 2 or is there phase 3 data now?

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 88 weeks to accept.

the 2.5mg arm is different from 2.4mg, results do not transfer

I am going to push back on this slightly.

About c/retatrutide

Retatrutide: GIP/GLP-1/glucagon triple agonism, the TRIUMPH programme, and the fact that most people discussing it are handling research-grade material with no human-use approval anywhere. Dose-response, heart-rate signal, and the unusually steep phase-2 weight curves get argued about here weekly.
