Produced Benefits List Insulin Genetically Engineered Bacteria Pigs

Insulin produced by genetically engineered bacteria is beneficial due to higher yields, lower costs, ethical considerations, and purity leading to fewer allergic reactions.

Bacterial insulin offers benefits like higher production quantities, lower costs, ethical advantages, and reduced allergic reactions compared to animal-derived insulin.

Front List 4 benefits of using insulin produced from genetically engineered bacteria rather than from pigs, explain each.
Back Benefits of bacterial insulin:
  • Can be produced in much higher quantities
  • Production costs much cheaper
  • Ethical/Religious concerns over using animal products in humans are overcome
  • Produced in a pure form - less likely to cause allergic reactions
