Abstract: Glucagon, a 29-amino-acid peptide hormone, is critical for treating severe hypoglycemia. The global peptide market, valued at $40B+ (2024), drives innovation in synthetic glucagon analogs. Key brands (GlucaGen, Baqsimi) differ via nasal vs. injectable delivery. Nasal powder offers superior stability but higher cost; injectables provide faster onset. Product certifications (FDA, EMA) ensure purity (>98%) and bioactivity. Selection prioritizes cold-chain logistics (2-8°C) and manufacturer GMP compliance.
