Is there an all natural preservative that provides free insulin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Insulin is a protein: No. And if there were, Insulin is a protein, and taking it orally would do nothing, since it would be digested in your stomach like any other protein. This is why diabetics need to inject insulin.
