Frequently Asked Questions

This was only possible (in laboratory animals) by wiping out the pancreas Islet beta cells creating diabetes, then giving the animals pancreas tonic in their feed for 12 weeks and harvesting the pancreas for a beta cells study. As you know the above experiment is not possible with humans. The clinical data collected from this study indicate that Pancreas tonic may work in humans by potentially regenerating the beta cells of the pancreas islets.
