Metformin for quality of life

[Kad1]

Google Dr Peter Attia he speaks a lot on the benefits of Metforman

This is an off label use as of now I believe. And the side effects are wonky. We had a nurse pass out in the bathroom 3 weeks in a row… I had to literally bust the door in first time bc he was just mumbling garbled nonsense on the floor and the door was locked. Her behavior was so erratic we thought she was using. I know this is a singular case, but it hits different when you see a bright young intelligent co worker looking like a junkie on the floor half conscious from a weight loss drug.

I may try it out now

 

[NeuroRN]

Wait. My coworker passing out wasn’t metformin. It was the other one we were talking about. @Poppy @Dirtnasty

It even says in the commercial that it will mess you up if used for weight loss
But it does work I just don’t know how

 

[Poppy]

As long as my a1c is going down and or stabilized I’m not going to mess with my meds at this time. It’s all the n me…DIET.

I looked into it brother its very intriguing compound but I believe that its an extremely old compound and there are probably better things to use for bbing.
I honestly am not sure but its crazy if this medication doesn’t have a newer version that works better.
Im going to look into this in the books and see what it says

 

[Dirtnasty]

I miss being all fucked in the bathrooms around the world haha not really

 

[NeuroRN]

you ain’t right

 

[Rusty]

As the wife would say. Your kaloka!!! Lol

 

[Rusty]

Am very interested in this.

You can actually purchase Berberine from any vitamin shop, which is a natural version of Metformin without all the side effects. I’m just starting this after much research.

If it lowers igf1 then why do some take it while on hgh? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose?

 

[Neuro]

As with everything, why are you taking both? The metformin and the HGH.

Metformin’s blunting of igf1 is not enough to effect the average hobbyist. I would say it has not impeded my growth, but knowing the long list of over health benefits, mitochondrial health, sirtuin activation, insulin sensitivity, cancer prevention, and others… I’ll take the risk of lower igf1.

 

[Thunder]

67 pounds ago I had pre-diabetic stuff happening when I didn’t eat or ate too much sugar.
I’m finally pulled the trigger on hgh and it was my understanding after some research by both myself and the wife we thought we read that it can prevent the insulin sensitivity from gh.
Then there’s the weight loss associated from it.

Are we close to center on this ?

My only concern is kidney function on it. Obviously I’m gonna have everything checked out before I start it , if I even do…@neuro?

 

[Jonny]

Isn’t the point of taking HGH to raise IGF1? Wouldn’t metformin be counter productive to the hGh if it lowering IGF1?

 

[anabolic_geek]

This is a good point and one that others have pointed out. In the real world, if you’re an enhanced lifter, it doesn’t make a practical difference in igf1 levels. That said, for non enhanced lifters, metformin could cause a non trivial difference.
