Tirzepatide (Stronger)
A newer agent with a dual action on GLP-1 and GIP receptors, offers even more potent effects on glycemic control and weight loss. Its benefits extend to individuals who not only want to shed pounds but also improve metabolic health, making it suitable for athletes with metabolic syndrome or those recovering from weight-related health issues.
In sports requiring endurance, such as running, cycling, or swimming, tirzepatide can assist athletes in reducing weight without compromising performance, provided they coordinate its use with their training and health professionals. Its dual mechanism might also support more sustainable weight management for athletes engaging in long-term training cycles.
