Several studies have demonstrated that Tirzepatide specifically slows tumor growth and works to prevent cancer. This is probably due to its anti-inflammatory effects, along with the reduction in obesity.

What a great era we find ourselves in.

Oh yeah, I believe a thread about this was shared roughly 1 month back?

That's excellent news.

I realize this isn't exactly breaking information, but the piece carries a June 5th date, so that element is definitely fresh.

My guess is that Reta behaves the same way, since Retatrutide has very strong anti-inflammatory properties.
