Hey mate. How are you doing? Maintaining all the progress you made?No hyperglycemia or hyperinsulinemia for until you take it, AMPK activation and consequently anti-aging are a few more things Metformin does. I've been taking it for 1 year and I feel very healthy. There are potential downsides though. The one that worries me the most is that it can negatively affect the gastrointestinal absorption of Vitamin B12, which can lead to its deficiency and consequently Telogen Effluvium. Other than that, I feel like it is a net positive drug despite its other infrequent side effects.
Yes, I agree about Met being a net positive drug. Re Gastro effects, I read somewhere that film-coated or sth like slow release tablets are much better in this regard.
