I looked into metformin a bit and it seems to work by being an exercise mimetic. It tricks the body that it’s going through an energy deprived state (like when you’re exercising) which activates certain genes which help improve your body from the “exercise/stress” that metformin is giving you
It seems that taking metformin while exercising though inhibits the benefits of exercise.
Also metformin inhibits MTOR which isn’t good for muscle building
I think it’s great to take if you’re not bodybuilding, not too sure it’s optimal for bodybuilding though. It definitely has health benefits. David Sinclair is an longevity (anti aging) scientist, someone who’s talked highly about it and takes it himself
Lots of positives with metformin. One of the negatives of metformin use mixed with gh is it inhibits igf-1 production.
I’m a big advocate of berberine over metformin for that main reason. Works just as good without the gut rot that metformin is known for, and it also supports IGF-1 production. Actually studies showing it increases igf1.
berberine is over the counterI wish PGanobolics would offer berberine...
That’s the other positive about Berberine. It’s all natural. I get mine from amazon.I wish PGanobolics would offer berberine...
