The capsules were analysed using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The laboratory analysis report showed that the API content was significantly low at 26.3%.

Furthermore, the weight variation and infrared absorption spectrum of the sample residue did not meet the established specifications. This indicates that the product is substandard, which has led to its recall.

In a historic medical breakthrough, scientists have successfully cured a woman of Type 1 diabetes using her own fat cells. Researchers reprogrammed these cells into insulin-producing islet cells — the very kind that the immune system destroys in diabetes. After transplantation, her blood sugar normalized within 75 days, and she has remained insulin-free for over a year.

This is the first-ever documented cure using a patient’s own stem cells. It offers real hope for the 8.7 million people worldwide who live with Type 1 diabetes, a lifelong condition that typically requires constant insulin therapy. The patient’s immune system did not reject the new cells, marking a crucial step toward personalized, long-lasting diabetes treatment — without the need for donor organs or immune suppression.
