DNP and Metformin

[ztinman]

I searched and could not find a topic directly relating to this. I have been running metformin while cutting and have been dabbling in dnp. My question is, is it beneficial to run metformin on dnp? I have read conflicting opinions but i found this study today

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3711303/

Honestly, i am having a hard time understanding it :banghead::banghead::banghead:

Ive read it 3 times and it sounds like it would help?

I use DNP until im very lean, and then i'll drop it



and i'll use metformin as I start adding carbs back into to make sure they go where they are supposed to.




I don't see any point in running them together

I was gonna say what LS said

DNP is gonna be making your insulin sensitivity really good,
Use metformin off of dnp to keep it good

based on what I could understand from the study (lol)



using metformin with very (VERY) low doses of dnp, may help offset the ATP drain from dnp..



so, not exactly useful for us

You tried chromium or alpha lipoic acid instead of metformin?

I doubt it would make an ounce of difference..



I do use NAC and loads of allicin, though


for antioxidants
