Not established

The reviewed evidence does not establish this statement. This does not prove it can never be true.

A matching label name does not establish sequence, purity, sterility, formulation, storage, or clinical equivalence. FDA warns that retatrutide products sold directly to consumers as research material are unapproved and of unknown quality.

What this answer is based on
