Cagrilintide

Updated April 28, 2026

Primary Benefits:

  • Suppresses appetite by mimicking amylin
  • Enhances satiety and reduces caloric intake
  • Improves insulin sensitivity and metabolic health
  • Complements GLP-1 agonists for synergistic fat loss

Mechanism of Action:
Cagrilintide is an amylin analogue that activates amylin receptors in the brain’s appetite-regulation centers. It slows gastric emptying, promotes feelings of fullness, and helps regulate postprandial glucose. It is often combined with GLP-1 receptor agonists for enhanced weight-loss efficacy.

Dosing & Protocol:

Subcutaneous (SQ) Injection using a 30-31 gauge 6-8mm insulin syringe

β€’ Reconstitution:
 – 5 mg vial β†’ 2.0 ml bacteriostatic water
 – 10 mg vial β†’ 2.0 ml bacteriostatic water

β€’ Weekly Dose:
 – 5 mg vial β†’ 250–500 mcg (10–20 units)
 – 10 mg vial β†’ 250–500 mcg (5–10 units)

β€’ Cycle:
 – Once weekly.
 – Begin with 250–500 mcg once per week for 4 weeks.
 – Then titrate up by 500-1000 mcg (0.5–1 mg) weekly, if needed.
 – Do not exceed 2500 mcg (2.5 mg) per week.

β€’ Timing:

  • Administer in the morning on the same day each week to maintain steady plasma levels.
  • Take on the same day and time each week for stable blood levels.

Potential Side Effects:

  • Mild nausea or fullness during the first few weeks
  • Constipation or delayed gastric emptying
  • Injection site irritation (rare)
  • Not recommended for those with a history of pancreatitis

Common Stacks:

  • With Tirzepatide or Semaglutide: Enhanced fat loss and appetite suppression
  • With 5-Amino-1MQ: For metabolic acceleration and energy optimization
  • With MOTS-c: For mitochondrial and endurance support

Notes:
Cagrilintide is most effective when used alongside dietary awareness and physical activity. It works best in combination with other peptide-based or GLP-1–based interventions. Store reconstituted vials in the refrigerator and use within 45 days unless the product label or protocol says otherwise.
