Description
GLP-3 (RT) 20mg — retatrutide research peptide, Canada
Researched & reviewed by the SPO Quality Team · Last reviewed: 30 September 2026
This 20mg vial holds retatrutide, the Eli Lilly molecule coded LY3437943 and listed in this catalogue as GLP-3 (RT). One synthetic peptide chain carries agonist activity at three receptors — GIP, GLP-1 and glucagon — which is why the literature calls it a “triple agonist”[1]. The compound reached phase 2 in 2023 and phase 3 afterwards, but as of this review no regulator has approved it[2, 3]. What is sold here is lyophilized research-grade peptide for laboratory use, not the clinical product.

Batch documentation
A batch-specific COA for this strength has not been posted yet — see the COA library (/coa/). The only retatrutide report in the library was run on a 10 mg vial lot; it does not describe this 20 mg vial and is deliberately not reproduced here. A 20 mg batch report will be embedded when one is issued.
What researchers have looked at
- Phase 2, obesity (2023, 338 adults, 48 weeks): body weight fell dose-dependently relative to placebo across the arms tested; gastrointestinal adverse events were the most common, were dose-related and mostly mild to moderate, and heart rate rose dose-dependently, peaking at 24 weeks before declining[2].
- Phase 2, type 2 diabetes (2023): a randomised, double-blind trial with placebo and active comparator in the USA examined glycaemic and weight endpoints[3]; a DXA substudy of 189 participants measured fat and lean mass changes, with fat-mass reductions that increased with dose[4].
- Liver fat (2024): in a substudy of the obesity trial, participants with steatotic liver disease showed liver-fat reductions that tracked changes in body weight, abdominal fat and insulin-sensitivity measures[5].
- Pooled analyses (2025–2026): a systematic review of three trials (1,082 screened, 691 randomised) confirmed gastrointestinal effects as the dominant adverse events[6]; a meta-analysis found lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure and lower total and LDL cholesterol on treatment[7].
Every item above describes a pharmaceutical-grade investigational drug given under medical supervision in a registered trial. The vial on this page has not been studied, and no effect is claimed for it.
Storage and handling
- Keep the sealed vial frozen at −20 °C for long-term storage (the site’s stated stability is up to 24 months as dry powder); a cool, dry, dark shelf is acceptable for short periods; do not cycle it through repeated freeze–thaw.
- The fatty-acid side chain makes retatrutide prone to self-association in solution, so dissolve only the quantity an experiment requires. Protocols for reconstitution and handling are the researcher’s responsibility and are not published on this site.

Frequently asked questions
Can I buy GLP-3 (RT) 20mg in Canada?
Yes. The 20mg vial of retatrutide (sold here as GLP-3 (RT)) is stocked by Shop Peptides Online as research-grade lyophilized peptide and ships from inside Canada by Canada Post. Laboratory research only; the compound is investigational and unapproved.
What does the phase 2 research on retatrutide cover?
Two 2023 trials — one in adults with obesity (PMID 37366315), one in adults with type 2 diabetes (PMID 37385280) — plus substudies on liver fat (PMID 38858523) and body composition by DXA (PMID 40609566). They describe Lilly’s investigational drug under trial conditions; they say nothing about this vial.
Is there a COA for GLP-3 (RT) 20mg?
Not yet. The COA library holds a Janoshik report for a 10 mg vial batch; that document does not cover the 20 mg lot and is not shown here. A 20 mg report will be embedded when one is issued.
Is GLP-3 (RT) 20mg for human use?
No. It is research-grade material for laboratory use only and is not for human or animal consumption. Retatrutide has no marketing approval anywhere; its trials report gastrointestinal adverse events and heart-rate increases (PMID 37366315); and Shop Peptides Online provides no dosing or administration guidance.
