Every Peptide. Every Mechanism. Every Evidence Tier.

Deep-dive research pages grounded in practitioner-validated protocols — the same curated source the DoseCraft Coach answers from. Not PubMed abstracts. Not Reddit threads. Mechanism, half-life, dose range, cycling, contraindications, and evidence tier — for every compound worth researching.

Every compound is tagged across three independent evidence lanes so you always know the research quality you’re acting on.

Metabolic

GLP-1, GIP, glucagon receptor agonists.

Semaglutide

GLP-1 Receptor Agonist

Clinical
~7 days

Semaglutide is a long-acting GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist. Researchers investigate its glucose-dependent insulin secretion potentiation, glucagon suppression, slowed gastric emptying, and central appetite-modulation effects. The compound's structural modifications — including a fatty-acid side chain enabling albumin binding — extend half-life dramatically over native GLP-1 (which has a ~2-minute half-life).

Tirzepatide

Dual GIP/GLP-1 Receptor Agonist

Clinical
~5 days

Tirzepatide is a synthetic dual agonist at both the GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP-1 receptors. Researchers investigate the combined incretin effect — proposed to drive greater insulin sensitization, appetite modulation, and metabolic outcomes than GLP-1 monotherapy. The compound shares the structural modifications (fatty-acid side chain, albumin binding) that produce the extended half-life characteristic of weekly metabolic peptides.

Retatrutide

Triple Agonist

Clinical
~6 days

Retatrutide is a synthetic triple agonist at the GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon receptors. Researchers investigate the additive effect of glucagon-receptor activation — proposed to increase energy expenditure via thermogenesis — on top of the dual incretin mechanism shared with Tirzepatide. The compound is structurally modified for albumin binding and weekly dosing.
