Weight Management & Metabolic

GLP-1 receptor agonists, GHRH analogues, lipolytic peptides

Retatrutide 10mg

GLP-1 / GIP / Glucagon▾

Triple receptor agonist acting on GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors simultaneously — the most potent of the incretin-class peptides in current research. Studies suggest stronger weight reduction vs dual agonists at equivalent timepoints.

Reconstitution
Add 2ml bac water to 10mg vial = 5mg/ml
1 unit on U100 syringe = 50mcg
Starting Dose
0.5mg once weekly (10 units on U100)
Escalation
Increase by 0.5mg every 4 weeks as tolerated
Target Range
4–8mg weekly (research range)
Administration
SC — abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Rotate sites.
Reconstituted Storage
2–8°C, use within 28 days

Reconstitution Steps

1Remove cap. Clean stopper with alcohol swab and allow to dry.
2Draw 2ml bacteriostatic water into a 3ml syringe.
3Insert needle and inject water slowly down the inside wall — not directly onto the powder.
4Swirl gently until fully dissolved. Do not shake.
5Refrigerate immediately. Write reconstitution date on label.

Slow titration is critical. GI side effects (nausea, reduced appetite) are dose-dependent and typically resolve after 2–3 weeks at each level. Do not escalate faster than every 4 weeks.

Retatrutide 20mg

GLP-1 / GIP / Glucagon▾

Triple receptor agonist — same mechanism as the 10mg vial. The 20mg format provides a higher-concentration reconstitution option, reducing injection volume at equivalent doses. Useful in longer research cycles where fewer vial changes are preferred.

Reconstitution
Add 2ml bac water to 20mg vial = 10mg/ml
1 unit on U100 syringe = 100mcg
Starting Dose
0.5mg once weekly (5 units on U100)
Escalation
Increase by 0.5mg every 4 weeks as tolerated
Target Range
4–8mg weekly (research range)
Administration
SC — abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Rotate sites.
Reconstituted Storage
2–8°C, use within 28 days
Higher concentration = smaller volume per dose. At 10mg/ml, a 0.5mg dose requires only 5 units (0.05ml) on a U100 syringe — less discomfort than the same dose from a 10mg vial. Titration protocol is identical to the 10mg format.

Retatrutide 30mg

GLP-1 / GIP / Glucagon▾

Triple receptor agonist at the highest single-vial concentration in the Revial catalogue. The 30mg format suits extended research cycles or higher dose ranges — one vial covers 4–7 weeks at typical research doses without frequent reconstitution.

Reconstitution
Add 2ml bac water to 30mg vial = 15mg/ml
1 unit on U100 syringe = 150mcg
Starting Dose
0.5mg once weekly (~3.3 units on U100)
Escalation
Increase by 0.5mg every 4 weeks as tolerated
Target Range
4–8mg weekly (research range)
Administration
SC — abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Rotate sites.
Reconstituted Storage
2–8°C, use within 28 days
Tip for precision dosing at 15mg/ml: Consider adding 3ml bac water instead of 2ml to get 10mg/ml — identical to the 20mg vial concentration and easier to measure on U100 syringes.

Tirzepatide 20mg

GLP-1 / GIP Dual Agonist▾

Dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist. One of the most extensively researched dual incretin analogues — modulates glucose homeostasis and appetite signalling simultaneously. Strong phase III clinical trial data backing its metabolic research context.

Reconstitution
Add 2ml bac water to 20mg vial = 10mg/ml
1 unit on U100 = 100mcg
Starting Dose
2.5mg once weekly (25 units)
Escalation
Increase by 2.5mg every 4 weeks
Target Range
5–15mg weekly
Administration
SC — rotate injection sites weekly
Reconstituted Storage
2–8°C, use within 28 days
Consistency: Inject on the same day each week. GI side effects are most pronounced at escalation steps — the 4-week spacing allows the body to adapt before the next increase.

Tirzepatide 30mg

GLP-1 / GIP Dual Agonist▾

Dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist — same mechanism as the 20mg vial. The 30mg format offers a higher-concentration option for extended research cycles, reducing vial changes at maintenance doses.

Reconstitution
Add 2ml bac water to 30mg vial = 15mg/ml
1 unit on U100 = 150mcg
Starting Dose
2.5mg once weekly (~17 units on U100)
Escalation
Increase by 2.5mg every 4 weeks
Target Range
5–15mg weekly
Administration
SC — rotate injection sites weekly
Reconstituted Storage
2–8°C, use within 28 days
Tip for easier measuring: Add 3ml bac water instead of 2ml to get 10mg/ml — identical concentration to the 20mg vial. At 10mg/ml, 2.5mg = exactly 25 units on a U100 syringe.

Universal Reconstitution & Storage Rules

Never Shake

Swirl gently or roll between palms. Shaking denatures peptide bonds and reduces potency.

Water to Powder, Not Powder to Water

Always inject bac water slowly down the inside wall of the vial — never directly onto the lyophilised cake.

Label Everything

Write the reconstitution date on every vial. Most peptides are stable for 21–28 days refrigerated.

No Freeze-Thaw Cycles

Once reconstituted, do not refreeze. Freeze-thaw cycles cause irreversible peptide degradation.

Use Insulin Syringes

U100 1ml insulin syringes allow precise low-volume dosing. 1 unit = 0.01ml — ideal for mcg-range doses.

Use the Peptide Calculator

Our Peptide Calculator converts vial content + water volume into per-unit doses automatically.
