5- Insulin
Price: $9,400 per gallon
Here is another expensive liquid produced by beta cells in the pancreas.
It has the role to regulate the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats by promoting the absorption of glucose from the blood to skeletal muscles and fat tissues by causing fat to be stored rather than used for energy.
Your liver should be able to do all that, unless you suffer from a metabolic disorder diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome.
If that’s the case your glucose levels fall below a certain level and your body begins to use stored sugar as an energy source in which case you need insulin.
However, a cheaper way of insulin is in development.
