Body Composition and Muscle Mass: Early data from the SURMOUNT-1 study using DXA scans showed that for the weight lost on Tirzepatide, approximately 75% was fat mass and 25% was lean mass

Microdosing considerations Some researchers use tirzepatide microdosing protocols that involve doses below the standard 2.5 mg starting point

Retatrutide Phase 2 showed up to 24.2% body weight reduction at the 12mg dose over 48 weeks
