'"`UNIQ--vote-0000032A-QINU`"' D3 (cholecalciferol) is more potent at raising serum 25(OH)D per dose; D2 remains widely prescribed in the US Rx 50,000 IU formulation'"`UNIQ--ref-0000032B-QINU`"'. (1) ·
'"`UNIQ--vote-00000584-QINU`"' Binds the same insulin receptor as endogenous insulin with comparable mitogenic-to-metabolic ratio. Ultra-rapid formulations (Lyumjev) add treprostinil and citrate to accelerate absorption further'"`UNIQ--ref-00000585-QINU`"'. (1)
