The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Stenabolic and Insulin (rDNA) in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the label for Insulin (rDNA) states a food rule worth keeping to.

Interaction report

Stenabolic and Insulin (rDNA)

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Insulin (rDNA) and Stenabolic in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Stenabolic at all — not against Insulin (rDNA), and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

  • Low blood sugar Worth acting on
  • Low potassium Worth acting on
  • High blood sugar Worth acting on
  • Wheezing Worth acting on

How to take them

Some Insulin (rDNA) Products Have a Food Rule — Stenabolic Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Insulin (rDNA) says to take it with food. If you take Stenabolic on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Insulin (rDNA) with a meal where the label says to.

This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Insulin (rDNA) products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.

( 2.1 , 2.2 , 2.3 , 2.4 ) Subcutaneous injection ( 2.2 ): Administer HUMALOG ® U-100 or U-200 by subcutaneous injection into the abdominal wall, thigh, upper arm, or buttocks within 15 minutes before a meal or immediately after a meal.

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Insulin (rDNA) — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. Read the label on DailyMed ›

A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.

Overlapping uses

What Insulin (rDNA) Is Prescribed For, and What Stenabolic Has Been Studied For

These two come up together because they touch the same health topic — not because they do the same job. Insulin (rDNA) is a prescription medicine with approved uses on its FDA label. Stenabolic is a supplement: what follows is what researchers have looked at it for, and how strong that evidence is.

Insulin (rDNA) is prescribed for: Insulin lispro injection is used to improve glycemic control (blood sugar management) in people with diabetes mellitus. It is a rapid-acting insulin analog approved for use in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Admelog is specifically indicated to improve glycemic control in patients with diabetes mellitus. Humalog Mix75/25 is indicated to improve glycemic control in adults with diabetes mellitus; it is a fixed-ratio mixture of insulin lispro and insulin lispro protamine, and its fixed proportions do not allow for separate adjustment of basal (background) and prandial (mealtime) doses.

Stenabolic has been studied for:

  • Diabetes studied, not established Stenabolic has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows

    Stenabolic for diabetes

    Although there is interest in using oral stenabolic for diabetes, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of stenabolic for this condition.

Effectiveness ratings and the research summaries above are the verbatim record from the Natural Medicines database, which grades evidence from “Effective” down to “Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate”. A rating below the top of that scale means researchers have looked at it — not that it works, and never that it can stand in for a prescribed medicine. Do not stop or replace Insulin (rDNA) on your own; if you are taking Stenabolic for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Insulin (rDNA)

This page covers Stenabolic only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Insulin (rDNA) page lists 242 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Chelation Therapy Products (major), Siberian Cocklebur (major), Acai (moderate), African Wild Potato (moderate) and Agaricus Mushroom (moderate).

By severity: 2 major · 211 moderate · 29 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Insulin (rDNA) page

“A weed called Siberian cocklebur has caused severe low blood sugar in humans and is the one ingredient to avoid outright while using insulin (rDNA) products like Humalog or Humulin. This list deserves real respect.”

About Stenabolic

What is Stenabolic?

  • Endurance and stamina
  • Fat loss
  • Bodybuilding and athletic performance
  • Boosting metabolism

Stenabolic (also called SR9009) is an experimental research chemical, not a true dietary supplement, herb, or approved drug. It is sold online for fat loss and endurance, but it has never been tested for safety or effectiveness in humans, and it is banned in sports. Because the risks are unknown and product quality is unreliable, we do not recommend using it.

Synthetic compound (not from a plant) · Capsules, liquid solutions, powders

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Stenabolic is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Stenabolic record says about it on its own.

Stenabolic: dosing

There is no established or approved dose for Stenabolic because it has never been tested in proper human studies. Doses suggested on websites and forums are not based on safety research.We cannot recommend a dose. Given the lack of safety data, the risk of contaminated products, and its banned status in sports, the safest choice is not to use it at all.

Taking Stenabolic and Insulin (rDNA) Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Stenabolic with Insulin (rDNA)?
We do not list a known interaction between Stenabolic and Insulin (rDNA). That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Should I take Stenabolic and Insulin (rDNA) at the same time of day?
At least one FDA label for a product containing Insulin (rDNA) says to take it with food. If you take Stenabolic on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate and take Insulin (rDNA) with a meal where the label says to. Food instructions belong to the product rather than the ingredient — two Insulin (rDNA) products can differ — so check the directions on your own box. This is about absorption, not an interaction.
Are Stenabolic and Insulin (rDNA) used for the same thing?
They overlap in purpose, which usually means the real question is whether you need both rather than whether they are safe together. This page lists the shared uses and how strong the evidence is for Stenabolic in each. That is a conversation for your prescriber, especially if Insulin (rDNA) is being adjusted to a target.
Does Insulin (rDNA) interact with any supplements?
Yes. Insulin (rDNA) has documented interactions with 242 supplements in our database — Stenabolic is not one of them. The Insulin (rDNA) interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
