The star ingredient? Tirzepatide itself, a dual-action med that mimics both GLP-1 and GIP hormones to help you feel fuller longer and balance blood sugar. Along with that, it contains a few inactive ingredients to keep it stable and effective:

Water (essential, obviously)
Sodium chloride (just salt, no biggie)
Hydrochloric acid (helps with pH balance)
Polysorbate 80 (keeps everything blended)

Tirzepatide starts working under the radar right away, but you’ll likely notice changes within a few weeks. For full results, give it 2 to 3 months—it gradually reduces appetite and cravings, so weight loss happens steadily. The key? Consistency. Pairing it with good food and movement will get you the best results.

Early studies show tirzepatide might help people lose even more weight compared to semaglutide, but the best option depends on you.

Like any med, Tirzepatide can come with some side effects, but most people find they ease up over time. The most common ones include:

Nausea, vomiting, or stomach issues (your gut adjusting)
Constipation or diarrhea (annoying but usually temporary)
Heartburn, bloating, or reflux (your digestion working overtime)
Dizziness, headaches, or fatigue (your body getting used to the change)

If anything feels off or doesn’t go away, check in with your doctor—your health always comes first!
