Humalog (Insulin Lispro — Rapid-Acting Analogue) 100iu
$175.00
Humalog is Eli Lilly’s brand of insulin lispro, a rapid-acting insulin analogue used for mealtime glucose control. It’s one of the most commonly prescribed rapid insulins worldwide.
Main clinical uses
Short-term prandial insulin to control blood glucose spikes associated with meals in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Used in basal-bolus regimens and insulin pump therapy in some cases.
Main Bodybuilding Use:
Humalog is the most widely used rapid-acting insulin in bodybuilding. Its quick onset (about 10–15 minutes) makes it ideal for peri-workout use, especially post-training when paired with fast carbs and protein. The main goal is to create a highly anabolic environment, driving nutrients into muscle tissue for enhanced growth, recovery, and fuller muscle appearance.
