Metformin is a diabetic drug and I had read that I could use it along with my the other supplements that I take, like resveratol, melatonin etc etc. Upon consulting my GP, I was strictly asked not to take it, because I don't have high sugar. So I am a bit confused here, as a lot of scientists, studying ageing recommend Metformin. What is your opinion on this?
Metformin is an age old drug of choice for reducing sugar levels in diabetics. New research has indicated that it helps reverse ageing and has a positive impact in reducing incidence of neuro diseases as also cancers. Age reversal expert David Sinclair has publicly acknowledged that he takes upto 1gm Metformin a day. And he is not alone in advocating the use of Metformin for age reversal. My recommendation - start a low dose keeping your GP in confidence, as some folks with specific conditions should not take this drug plus there are some side effects for older folks.
You can see my 1st blog which also talks about other supplements for age reversal.
I guess I will be the next Dennis for your upcoming blog. I like the advancement in medicines and believe in the hope for cures for cancer. But I don’t know if I like the idea of gene manipulation in any form. And what are the consequences of this new frontier to our world - longer life spans are going to strain the planet resources even more. For every action .... :)
