This is for you, even if you are just an aspiring tech mogul or an AI chat robot.
I’ve been on Metformin for years.No wonder I look 40 years younger!
I mentioned the supposed anti-aging benefits to my bariatric doctor. She had never heard of it. Went to the eye doctor. He mentioned I was on it but my blood work didn’t look like I needed it. I said I wanted to stay on it for the anti-aging benefits. Got a blank look.
It quite threw my systems out of whack — enough so that it is listed as an allergy now. It barely lowered my A1C, and then it climbed again despite taking it and watching diet. Glimepride was not much better. Mounjaro, a new weekly injection, has helped me get my A1C from 14.8 to 5.4 and kept it there. I have also managed to lose 70 pounds.
So, all that said, I have no pleasant experience with it... nor did my wife.
I’ve been losing weight, but I’m not getting any younger.
Perhaps only moguls get younger?
Or perhaps I need to use the moguls’ drugs?
In the end, I believe Berberine will turn out better
I’ve been on Metformin for over 20 years now. I’m approaching 60, and people say I look 44-50.
Been on metformin for a decade.
In that time I have lost 40 lb. So it may actually work, but I credit my diabetic diet.
It has issues - like, let us say, adding urgency to certain personal needs, often at inconvenient times.
Been bio-hacking with Metformin over 8 years. I had ZERO comorbidities before I started.. SLOWLY. Blood pressure over time has decreased from 132/90 to resting BP at 107/64 or so. Im 68 this summer and am frequently told I look 50. Maybe. I take NR for NAD+, 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in the am. GLYNAC. low dose aspirin, B-12, 500mg vit C X 3 daily. I lift weights and eat twice a day in a 6 hour window.. Y’all ought to google search metformin studies. OH and I take regular Met to avoid the potential of timed release allegations of cancer with the additives.

Wait until they can no longer tolerate it. The explosive diarrhea can be VERY disconcerting!
1) It can reverse aging and melt body fat
2) Or it can cause explosive diarrhea
Hum? That is one heck of a toss up. Tough call.
Low Dose Naltrexone can also be used to lose weight. Off label use.
I recently had food poisoning. My miracle cure for this is activated charcoal. I took it every few hours. However, it can absorb your other medications. So in essence might counter my blood pressure medicine. But the next day my blood pressure was lower that it had been in a while. I have no concept of what happened with all of that.
Berberine has the same effect.. more expensive.
I’ve read articles about Metformin reducing some cancer rates by 50 to 75%.
Anybody still exercise?
