GLP-1 / MetabolicVerified

GIP

Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide · Gastric inhibitory polypeptide

One of the two main incretin hormones, released from the gut after eating and acting at the GIP receptor. It is the second target that dual agonists such as tirzepatide combine with GLP-1, which is why it appears in discussion of that class. An endogenous hormone, not a marketed product on its own.
