Metabolic
GLP-2 TZ (Tirzepatide)
Appetite, blood sugar, and weight research
Quick answer
A 30 mg vial with 3 mL of water makes 10 mg/mL. A 2.5 mg dose is 25 units. Once a week, stepped up every 4 weeks.
- Mix it
- 30 mg vial + 3 mL water
- Draw
- About 25 units on a U-100 syringe
- How often
- Once a week, same day each week
- Store it
- Refrigerate after mixing. Use within about 4 weeks.
What it is
Tirzepatide acts on two gut hormone pathways at once, GLP-1 and GIP. Research looks at appetite, how full you feel, and blood sugar control.
Most used for
- Appetite and portion size
- Body weight
- Blood sugar control
- Food noise and cravings
These are things researchers study. They are not promised results.
Dosing at a glance
These are the amounts used most often in research. Always start at the low end.
- Vial size
- 10 mg to 60 mg
- Dose range
- 2.5 mg to 15 mg per week, increased slowly
- How often
- Once a week, same day each week
- Cycle length
- Long term, dose stepped up every 4 weeks
- Mix with
- Bacteriostatic water (also called bac water or reconstitution solution).
- Storage
- Refrigerate after mixing. Use within about 4 weeks.
Mixing it
A common setup for GLP-2 TZ is a 30 mg vial with 3 mL of bac water.
That makes 10 mg per mL. A 2.5 mg dose is about 25 units on a standard insulin syringe.
Bacteriostatic water is all you need here. Acetic acid is only for powders that will not dissolve. See the mixing guide.
