GLP-1 Plot Twist: The Most Underrated Drug Isn’t from the US

What if one of the most promising new weight loss medications isn’t from the U.S.—but China? 

Mazdutide, a dual GLP-1/glucagon receptor agonist developed in China, is generating global buzz. We walk through the GLORY-1 trial data, what the weight loss results really show, and how this drug compares to heavyweights like Wegovy and Zepbound.

Mazdutide’s 6mg dose led to 14% weight loss at 48 weeks—but the study’s lower average BMI and a mysterious plateau around Week 32 raise important questions. I unpack potential reasons for the flatline, discuss the role of visceral fat, and highlight why placebo performance matters more than you think. We also touch on safety, limitations, and why early 9mg data could make Mazdutide a true contender.

With backing from Innovent and Eli Lilly, and a rapidly growing obesity market in China, this isn’t just a treatment story—it’s a strategic one. Could Mazdutide become a serious global rival? Let’s take a closer look at what the data—and the bigger picture—suggest.
