Porcine-Free Insulin: Which Brands are Safe?

Are you sure your insulin isn't compromising your Halal standards? Patients are often worried that the medication keeping them alive might contain derivatives from pigs. If you are a Muslim patient managing diabetes, you need to know exactly what is in that vial.

The History vs. Reality

For decades, insulin was harvested from the pancreases of cows and pigs. Thankfully, the manufacturing of insulin changed forever with recombinant DNA technology. Today, we don't need animal organs to produce this hormone.

Synthetic Solutions

Almost all insulin sold in the US today, including Lantus, Humalog, and Novolog, is entirely synthetic. They are produced by bacteria or yeast in a lab. They do not contain any porcine or bovine products. However, you should always double-check the "inactive" ingredients with your pharmacist.

Dignity in Care

The problem for many isn't the ingredients anymore—it is the price tag. Synthetic insulin is expensive. At Healthy Hope, we help patients get these high-quality, porcine-free insulins for just $40 a month. It is about staying healthy for your family without choosing between your faith and your wallet.
