Notes  


North American brand name for Eli Lilly's 100% bovine AND bovine/porcine mix insulins[1]. This is the "R"/neutral or soluble type; many more types were also produced.

Like all R or neutral insulins, nothing is added (suspensions) to alter the insulin's action or speed[2]. There are no beef/pork mixed R/neutral insulins on the market today--they are all either pure pork or pure beef.

The pure beef Iletin I R is equivalent to Hypurin Bovine Neutral[3], Hypurin Vet Neutral[4][5][6] and Insuvet Neutral[7].
