What Is Retatrutide? GLP-1 Research Peptide Explained

What retatrutide is

Retatrutide is a synthetic 39-amino-acid peptide studied as a triple agonist: it binds the GIP, GLP-1 and glucagon receptors in laboratory models. In research writing it is often shortened to reta. It is not a licensed medicine anywhere, and it is supplied here as a lyophilised powder for laboratory research only.

The name people search for, and the thing most guides get wrong: retatrutide is not the same compound as tirzepatide or semaglutide. Tirzepatide is a dual GIP and GLP-1 agonist. Semaglutide is a single GLP-1 agonist. The three are distinct molecules with distinct sequences, and a certificate issued for one does not cover another.

How much is retatrutide in Egypt?

EGP 10,000 for the 10mg research vial and EGP 15,000 for the 15mg vial, which works out at 1,000 EGP per milligram for both. Neither strength is better value per milligram than the other, so the choice is about the quantity your work needs. Delivery is 200 EGP to every city in Egypt, 3 to 5 business days, and collecting from Mivida in New Cairo is free. Current prices are always on the price page and on each product page.

What documentation exists for it here

A reference laboratory report is published for a retatrutide sample labelled in the 10mg product line. Read what it does and does not prove on the retatrutide certificate page. The 15mg strength has no matching report published, and the 10mg page says so plainly. A report applies to the sample tested, not automatically to every vial of that compound.

If you want to check any laboratory document yourself, the verification guide walks through the task number, the analyte figures and the reporting limits step by step. The certificate documentation study sets out what the four reports we hold actually cover.

How it differs from the other GLP-1 names

Search results in Egypt often blend retatrutide, tirzepatide, semaglutide and the brand names Mounjaro, Ozempic and Wegovy into one topic. They are separate things. Tirzepatide is the active in Mounjaro and Zepbound. Semaglutide is the active in Ozempic and Wegovy. Both are licensed medicines dispensed from pharmacies against a prescription. Retatrutide is not licensed and is not a medicine. If you are looking for a prescription medicine, a pharmacy is the correct route, and this page explains the difference between the licensed products and research material.

Storage and handling

Keep the sealed vial at -20 degrees C away from light. Once reconstituted, store at 2 to 8 degrees C and follow your own laboratory protocol. Stability depends on the compound, the solvent and how it is handled, so there is no single shelf life figure that applies to every setup. The storage guide covers temperature, reconstitution and shelf-life questions in more detail.

Questions people ask about retatrutide

What is retatrutide in simple terms?

It is a synthetic peptide studied in the laboratory as a triple agonist, acting on the GIP, GLP-1 and glucagon receptors in research models. It is not an approved medicine.

Is retatrutide the same as tirzepatide?

No. Retatrutide is a triple agonist; tirzepatide is a dual GIP and GLP-1 agonist. Different molecules, different sequences, different laboratory reports.

How much does retatrutide cost in Egypt?

EGP 10,000 for the 10mg research vial and EGP 15,000 for the 15mg vial, both 1,000 EGP per milligram, plus 200 EGP delivery to any city.

Is retatrutide a licensed medicine?

No. It is not approved for human use, and nothing supplied here is a medicine or a treatment. Every item is sold for laboratory research only.

What is "reta" in peptide listings?

Reta is shorthand for retatrutide. In listings, R10 and R15 refer to the 10mg and 15mg strengths.

Can I see a certificate before ordering?

Yes. The published report and its stated limits are on the certificate page, and you can check the document yourself with the verification guide.
