The insulin is made by Novo Nordisk for Wal-Mart/Sam's Club under the ReliOn brand name[2]. It is the same insulin from the same manufacturer as Novolin R and Actrapid[3][4][5][6].

The difference is in the price; the ReliOn branded insulins are cheaper in price but not in quality.

Like all R or neutral insulins, nothing is added (suspensions) to alter the insulin's action or speed[7]

Other comparable insulins are Humulin R[8], Humulin S[9][10][11], Insuman Rapid[12].
