Mechanism of Action
Korglutide is an innovative oral dual agonist peptide that acts simultaneously on GLP-1 and IGF-1 receptors, providing a synergistic mechanism for safe and effective weight loss without muscle loss. Through GLP-1 receptor activation, Korglutide suppresses appetite, delays gastric emptying, enhances satiety, and stimulates insulin secretion, leading to improved glycemic control and reduced caloric intake. It also promotes lipolysis and inhibits lipogenesis, effectively breaking down fat and preventing new fat accumulation. At the same time, IGF-1 receptor activation triggers anabolic signaling through the mTOR and ERK pathways, promoting muscle protein synthesis and upregulating key myogenic regulators such as MyoD, MyoG, SIRT1, and MyHC, which maintain muscle mass. Clinically, this dual-receptor activity results in significant fat mass reduction (−6.65 kg) with minimal muscle loss (−0.27 kg), achieving an average −10.75% body weight decrease and −0.9% HbA1c reduction in 12 weeks. Moreover, Korglutide improves lipid metabolism, reduces visceral fat and waist-to-hip ratio, and causes far fewer gastrointestinal side effects compared to injectable GLP-1 analogs like semaglutide or liraglutide. Its oral, peptide-based formulation offers a convenient, injection-free alternative that combines metabolic regulation, fat targeting, and muscle preservation for comprehensive weight management.
Key benefits
Where performance meets purpose.
Korglutide acts as a dual agonist of:
-GLP-1R → appetite suppression, delayed gastric emptying, enhanced insulin secretion
-IGF-1R → anabolic, anti-catabolic effects on skeletal muscle.
This dual targeting is unique among oral therapies and provides a protective effect against muscle loss during weight reduction.
12-week human clinical trial results:
- Weight loss: -10.78%
- Fat mass reduction: - 6.65 kg
Skeletal muscle mass loss: ≤0.3 kg (minimal)
Comparative injectables (e.g., Semaglutide, Tirzepatide) have shown 2–3 kg muscle mass loss over similar durations.
Daily oral stick (100 mg peptide + RMD)
Advantages over injectables:
- No cold chain needed
- No injection pain or compliance barrier
Greater acceptability for non-obese users or patients with needle aversion.
Korglutide shows much lower GI side effect profile due to gradual absorption, oral metabolism, and possible partial agonism behavior.
Target population includes:
- Obese with BMI ≥30
- Type 2 diabetics with BMI ≥27
Also suitable for 'skinny fat' or metabolically obese-normal weight (MONW) phenotype.
- HbA1c reduction: - 0.9% in 12 weeks (vs. –0.3% placebo).
- Improves insulin sensitivity and reduces fasting glucose.
May offer additional cardio-metabolic benefits via IGF-1R pathway
(endothelial, anti-inflammatory effects).
Stable 7-amino acid peptide co-formulated with resistant maltodextrin for enhanced GI stability and metabolic benefits. No degradation risk like other oral peptides (e.g., oral Semaglutide needs SNAC enhancer).
