It is actually grown from genetically altered bacteria or yeast.
It is natural, all mammals produce insulin. Before the analogs and rDNA insulins they literally harvested insulin from pig and cow pancreases. AKA animal sourced.
IDK doesn't make sense to me why it cost so much more than penicillin
But tax payers give them billions to research, so yeah why is research so expensive?
"The National Institutes of Health (NIH) funds biomedical research and development (R&D) that contributes to drug development. In 2021, the NIH's budget was $43 billion"
They still don't know what causes it. 🤣

I'm sure research is expensive but do they look for cures or treatments? When's the last time a cute was developed?
