Peptide tracker Investigational — not FDA approved (Phase III)

Retatrutide tracker
for iPhone.

Retatrutide is the newest of the major GLP-1 family members and the first triple agonist to make trial waves. The cadence is familiar — once a week, escalate every four — but the molecule is potent and the dose ladders run higher than the older drugs. Peptide Protocol gives Retatrutide its own preset, holds the schedule, and overlays your weight chart against the dose timeline so the bigger jumps don't get away from you.

Evidence levelTrial publication
Plasma half-life≈6 days (~144 hours)
Approved presentationNo marketed product presentation. Phase III TRIUMPH program ongoing as of 2026.

EscalationPhase II / III trial pattern: 2 → 4 → 8 → 12 mg, weekly steps held 4 weeks. Not an FDA-labeled escalation.
Side-effect notesTrial reports nausea / GI discomfort and elevated heart rate at higher doses; trials suggest stronger appetite suppression than dual-agonist comparators.
Key caveatInvestigational compound. No FDA approval, no labeled dose, no approved presentation. Do not present as an approved therapy.

Built around Retatrutide protocols

Three things the app does that matter especially for a fast-escalating, high-potency molecule.

Weekly cadence with custom ladder

No FDA label means no fixed ladder. Build your own: 2 → 4 → 8 → 12 mg with whatever hold length you decided with your clinician. The app advances on schedule and updates the calculator the same moment.

Math for the bigger doses

12 mg per week is a lot of solution to draw. The calculator handles 5 mg/mL and 10 mg/mL concentrations and shows the unit count on every common syringe — useful when the volume gets close to the syringe's max.

Heart rate + GI in the check-in

Triple agonism brings a different side-effect profile. The daily check-in includes free-text notes; the weekly report aggregates them next to the dose log so a slow-rising HR or appetite shift doesn't go unnoticed.

Retatrutide tracking — common questions

Does Peptide Protocol support Retatrutide?

Yes. Retatrutide is a first-class preset in the calculator. Pick the vial mass and the BAC water volume you used, set your target dose, and the app outputs the unit count for a U-100, U-50, or U-30 insulin syringe — same engine used for Tirzepatide and Semaglutide protocols.

What escalation pattern do I use for Retatrutide?

Retatrutide is still in clinical trials, so there is no FDA-labeled escalation. Many self-protocols mirror the trial design: 2 mg → 4 mg → 8 mg → 12 mg, holding each step for 4 weeks. The app supports any custom ladder you define — confirm dosing with a licensed clinician before you build it.

How is Retatrutide tracking different from Semaglutide or Tirzepatide?

Mechanistically Retatrutide adds a glucagon-receptor agonist on top of GLP-1 and GIP, which often shows up as stronger thermogenesis and a different side-effect curve. The app handles all three the same way — weekly cadence, escalation steps, weight overlay, GI symptom log — so you can switch protocols without re-learning the workflow.
