The GLP-1 Class for Canadian Metabolic Researchers
Published 2026-01-13 · Lumera Labs Editorial · Kelowna, BC
Short answer: The GLP-1 class spans single agonists (Semaglutide), dual agonists (Tirzepatide GLP-1/GIP, Mazdutide GLP-1/glucagon, Survodutide GLP-1/glucagon), and triple agonists (Retatrutide GLP-1/GIP/glucagon). All five are stocked at Lumera Labs Kelowna for Canadian research.
The five compounds
| Compound | Receptors | From (CAD) |
|---|---|---|
| Semaglutide | GLP-1 | $30 |
| Tirzepatide | GLP-1 + GIP | $40 |
| Mazdutide | GLP-1 + glucagon | $60 |
| Survodutide | GLP-1 + glucagon | $100 |
| Retatrutide | GLP-1 + GIP + glucagon | $45 |
Generation hierarchy
Gen 1 — single GLP-1 agonist (Semaglutide). Gen 2 — dual agonists (Tirzepatide, Mazdutide, Survodutide). Gen 3 — triple agonists (Retatrutide). Each generation expands receptor coverage.
Why have all five?
Comparative research design across generations isolates which receptor's contribution drives observed effects. Lumera Labs is the only Canadian supplier stocking all five GLP-1-class compounds at multiple dose tiers.
Domestic Canadian advantage
Single-shipment research orders mean comparative protocols don't get derailed by mismatched delivery dates or temperature excursions. Same-day Kelowna dispatch, 48h national delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between single, dual, and triple GLP-1 agonists?
Single agonists target only the GLP-1 receptor (semaglutide). Dual agonists target GLP-1 plus a second receptor (tirzepatide adds GIP, mazdutide and survodutide add glucagon). Triple agonists like retatrutide target all three.
Which GLP-1 peptides does Lumera Labs supply?
All five major compounds: Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, Mazdutide, Survodutide, and Retatrutide. Each available in multiple dose tiers.
Are these GLP-1 peptides legal in Canada?
Yes, when sold as laboratory research reference standards. Not approved by Health Canada for human use.
Why is Retatrutide cheaper than Mazdutide?
Retatrutide is more widely researched and produced at higher volumes by GMP suppliers, lowering unit cost. Mazdutide remains a specialty compound.
Can I order all five in one shipment?
Yes. Single-cart, single-shipment orders are common for comparative GLP-1 research. Free cold-chain shipping over $200 CAD.
