Interaction Analysis
Pharmacokinetic + pair-level checks
Timing optimizations
Retatrutide (LY-343794)
Take ~72h before the intended effect window
Reaches peak plasma concentration in ~72h. Half-life ~150h.
Cagrilintide
Take ~24h before the intended effect window
Reaches peak plasma concentration in ~24h. Half-life ~168h.
Magnesium (Glycinate)
Evening (glycinate/threonate) or before bed
Magnesium promotes GABA activity and lowers core body temperature, aiding sleep onset and quality. (Onset: ~2h, half-life: ~8h)

Interaction analysis is based on peer-reviewed pharmacology. PMID links go to PubMed. Not medical advice.

Human phase 2 RCT evidence for weight loss in obesity.
1mg
Body weight reduction
High
Population: Adults with obesity (without diabetes) in a randomized controlled phase 2 trial
Study type: Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 trial
Dose context: 12 mg typical (range: 1–12 mg) • Duration: 48 weeks

Retatrutide produced substantial mean body-weight reductions over 48 weeks (up to ~24% at highest dose), with larger losses at higher doses; GI adverse effects were common & dose-related.

Phase 3 registrational program design (TRIUMPH)
Low
Population: Adults with obesity ± OSA, knee osteoarthritis, or cardiovascular disease (>5800 participants across 4 trials)
Study type: Phase 3 registrational program design/rationale publication
Dose context: • Duration: Ongoing (trials projected through 2025–2026)

The TRIUMPH phase 3 program (4 trials, >5800 participants) evaluates once-weekly subcutaneous retatrutide vs. placebo for weight management & obesity-related complications (OSA, OA, CVD). No primary efficacy results published as of early 2026; design & rationale published in 2025.

Body weight reduction (phase 3 — REDEFINE 1, overweight/obesity without diabetes)
High
Population: Adults with overweight/obesity (without diabetes), n=3417 randomized
Study type: Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled and active-controlled phase 3a trial
Dose context: 2 mg typical (range: 0–2 mg) • Duration: 68 weeks

CagriSema (cagrilintide 2.4 mg + semaglutide 2.4 mg once weekly) produced an estimated mean body-weight reduction of -20.4% vs -3.0% with placebo at week 68 (P<0.001), superior to either component alone. GI adverse events were common (majority transient & mild-to-moderate). Published in NEJM 2025.

Body weight & glycemic control (phase 3 — REDEFINE 2, type 2 diabetes)
High
Population: Adults with overweight/obesity and type 2 diabetes (n=1206 randomized)
Study type: Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3a trial
Dose context: 2 mg typical (range: 0–2 mg) • Duration: 68 weeks

CagriSema produced mean weight loss of -13.7% vs -3.4% with placebo at week 68, & 73.5% of patients achieved HbA1c ≤6.5% vs 15.9% with placebo. GI adverse events in 72.5% of CagriSema group (mostly transient/mild-moderate). Published in NEJM 2025.

Weight loss & glycemic control — late-stage trial report (type 2 diabetes)
Low
Population: Adults with type 2 diabetes (CagriSema vs semaglutide)
Study type: Late-stage trial (news report; now superseded by peer-reviewed NEJM publication above)
Dose context: • Duration: 68 weeks

Reuters news report (February 2026) described CagriSema outperforming semaglutide in a late-stage diabetes trial; this is now confirmed by the peer-reviewed REDEFINE 2 NEJM paper (see above).

Trade-offs & context
Tolerance

Loose stools at higher doses; glycinate form is better tolerated than citrate or oxide

Context: doses >400mg elemental

Timing

Drowsiness — take in the evening to leverage rather than fight this effect

Sleep quality in adults with poor sleep (magnesium bisglycinate RCT)
Moderate
Population: Adults aged 18–65 with self-reported poor sleep (n=155)
Study type: RCT (double-blind, placebo-controlled)
Dose context: 250 mg typical (range: 200–250 mg) • Duration: 8 weeks

250 mg elemental magnesium as bisglycinate modestly but significantly reduced Insomnia Severity Index score vs. placebo (−3.9 vs −2.3, p=0.049) by week 4; well-tolerated with minimal GI effects.

Citation: Abboud M et al. Nutrients. 2025.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40918053/
First RCT specifically using magnesium bisglycinate for sleep in a general adult population.
Insomnia in older adults (sleep latency, total sleep time)
Low
Population: Older adults with insomnia (3 RCTs, n=151)
Study type: Systematic review & meta-analysis
Dose context: 320 mg typical (range: 100–500 mg) • Duration: 8 weeks

Magnesium supplementation reduced sleep onset latency by ~17 min vs. placebo; increased sleep time & efficiency. Evidence rated low-to-very-low quality; all trials at moderate-to-high bias risk.

Citation: Mah J & Pitre T. BMC Complement Med Ther. 2021;21(1):125.DOI: 10.1186/s12906-021-03297-zhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33865376/
Benefit most plausible in those with low baseline magnesium. Dose refers to elemental magnesium.
