Retatrutide 40mg
40 mg of lyophilized retatrutide, the GIP, GLP-1 and glucagon receptor agonist peptide
Retatrutide is a synthetic triple agonist peptide, LY3437943, whose targets are the receptors for GIP, GLP-1 and glucagon. The glucagon receptor activity is what separates it from dual incretin agonists. This listing is a 40 mg vial of freeze-dried powder released under its own lot. The clinical record includes a liver fat substudy alongside the obesity and diabetes trials.

Other fills
This is the 40 mg fill. The Retatrutide 10mg page is the main listing for this compound, with the full research summary and every fill side by side. Other fills: 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg, 30 mg, 50 mg, 60 mg.
What the research covers
Sanyal and colleagues reported a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled substudy of the phase 2 obesity trial in 98 adults with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and at least 10% liver fat1. At 24 weeks, the share of participants whose liver fat had fallen into the normal range, under 5%, was between 27% and 86% in the retatrutide groups and 0% on placebo1. The falls in liver fat were related to changes in body weight and abdominal fat1. The retatrutide 10 mg listing sets this result beside the other trials.

How each lot is tested
Every lot is tested in PrymaLab’s own laboratory in Ashland, Kentucky before release: RP-HPLC for purity, LC-MS for identity, Karl Fischer titration for water, LAL for endotoxin and USP <71> for sterility. The results for the lot now shipping are in the certificate panel on this page, and the certificate number, key and QR code can be checked on the verify page. These are in-house results from PrymaLab Analytical, not an independent test, and the lab is not accredited to ISO 17025. The third-party testing guarantee on this page still applies: if any independent laboratory finds the wrong compound, or less than the stated purity or amount, the order is refunded and the cost of the test is reimbursed.
Frequently asked questions
How much peptide is in the 40 mg vial in molar terms?
Roughly 8.5 µmol, calculated from the 4731.4 Da theoretical mass on the certificate. Because the lyophilized cake also contains a small amount of water, the peptide content is slightly lower.
Is a fill this large harder to keep?
Sealed, no: like the other fills it is kept at −20 °C, desiccated and dark. The difference comes after reconstitution, when more solution sits at 2 to 8 °C. Plan the diluent volume around how quickly the work will consume it.
Did the liver fat substudy use this kind of material?
No. The substudy tested the clinical drug product in trial participants under medical supervision. Its findings describe retatrutide as a molecule and are not data on any research-grade vial.
