Tirzepatide Vials — 5mg / 10mg / 15mg / 20mg / 40mg / 60mg
Weight & Metabolic
Overview
Tirzepatide is a 39-amino-acid dual agonist that binds both the GIP and GLP-1 receptors from a single peptide backbone, with a C20 fatty-diacid moiety that extends its half-life in solution. Supplied as a sterile lyophilised powder in 20mg, 40mg and 60mg vials, verified to 99%+ purity by RP-HPLC and confirmed by mass spectrometry. All three vial sizes are held in UK stock and dispatch the same day when ordered by 1pm, Monday to Friday.
Classification: Tirzepatide (LY3298176) — a synthetic 39 amino-acid dual-agonist peptide with a C20 fatty-diacid moiety, based on the native GIP sequence with modifications enabling GLP-1 receptor activity.
Research background
In vitro, Tirzepatide is used to characterise co-activation of the GIP and GLP-1 receptors — including cAMP accumulation, β-arrestin recruitment and receptor-bias studies. It is often used as a comparator peptide when characterising newer molecules such as Retatrutide or Cagrilintide combinations.
This summary describes published preclinical and, where applicable, clinical research. It is not a medical claim and does not describe or endorse any human use of the compound as sold by Peptides UK 4U.
Mechanism of action (under investigation)
Published research characterises tirzepatide as a dual agonist at the GIP and GLP-1 receptors, with reported biased signalling at the GLP-1 receptor relative to native GLP-1. Preclinical and clinical literature examines the combined incretin signalling profile that distinguishes tirzepatide from single-receptor GLP-1 analogues.
Laboratory handling
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water in a sterile environment. The C20 fatty-diacid modification gives good stability in solution; prepare working aliquots to minimise repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage & stability
- Lyophilised vials: store below -18°C, protected from light.
- Reconstituted solution: refrigerate at 2–8°C.
- Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to preserve peptide integrity.

Frequently asked questions
How is Tirzepatide different from Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a single-receptor GLP-1 analogue; Tirzepatide activates both the GLP-1 and GIP receptors from one 39-residue peptide, which is the main variable researchers compare in incretin studies.
What is the reported half-life of Tirzepatide?
Published pharmacokinetic data reports a half-life of approximately 5 days (~120 hours), enabled by the C20 fatty-diacid modification that binds albumin.
What purity is your Tirzepatide?
Every vial is tested to 99%+ purity by RP-HPLC and confirmed by mass spectrometry (~4,813 Da). A batch-specific Certificate of Analysis is published on our COA page.
Do you ship Tirzepatide from the UK?
Yes — all Tirzepatide vials are UK-stocked with same-day Royal Mail Tracked 24 dispatch (order by 1pm, Mon-Fri).
Do you supply a Certificate of Analysis?
Yes — a third-party HPLC + MS COA is linked from the product page for tested batches.
