The science of Metformin
Widely Prescribed: Metformin is one of the most widely prescribed medications worldwide – the side effects of Metformin are mild, and its safety profile is widely established. FDA approved to treat diabetes since 1994, Metformin works by reducing how much glucose is released from the liver and improving glucose absorption by cells.
Multifaceted Benefits: In clinical studies, Metformin showed a range of potential benefits, including reduced inflammation, improved insulin sensitivity, weight loss, and lowered risk for heart attack and stroke, among other age-related diseases.
