GLP-1 / Weight Loss Agonists

Ovagen- Summary
- Tirzepatide is an FDA-approved dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist that produces greater weight loss than semaglutide in head-to-head trials. SURMOUNT-1 trial showed average 21% body weight reduction at 72 weeks at the highest dose. Marketed as Mounjaro (diabetes) and Zepbound (obesity).
- Ovagen is a tripeptide bioregulator (Glu-Asp-Leu) developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson, primarily targeting liver tissue. It supports hepatocyte function, liver cell regeneration, and protection against hepatic aging and disease. Ovagen is used in protocols for chronic liver disease, hepatoprotection, and metabolic liver conditions including fatty liver disease.
