If you do well on pig gland extracts, that is your choice.
In medicine not all things are totally "known". It is only after something happens that new ideas are considered. The future may hold new discoveries. In the world of insulin supplementation, both Beef and Pork insulin are history. That is just one example.
Here is one article about it:
