“It is not a cure, or not close to a permanent improvement use drug for diabetes.”
I dont think that is the point of this thread.
The drug might be repurposed for something not related to diabetes..which is why I was looking at taking it
That billionaire who is doing that crazy anti aging routine includes metformin in his 2000 pills he takes a day (that is an exaggeration but he does take a lot).
“...fibrotic tissue, a hardening or scarring of tissues. Metformin also reduces muscle atrophy.”
The title of the thread identifies it as a common diabetic drug and the problems it is attempting to handle are consistent with diabetes.
But the side effects to it are a problem:
Feeling sick (nausea)
Being sick (vomiting)
Diarrhea
Stomach ache
Loss of appetite
A metallic taste in the mouth
Low blood sugars, hypoglycemia which can cause death
In rare cases, it’s possible to have a serious allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) to metformin
Lactic acidosis
It can also include a B12 deficiency which can leave you tired, breathless and faint.
A good site for the drug is this MSDS:
