Metformin article. Seems it is terrible for muscle.

[bigNsmall]

Currently experimenting with 1 gram of Metformin per day . 500 mg twice a day on days that i consume carbs(training days..4-5 days per week)

Too early to notice anything besides the bubble guts and appetite suppression.

eat oatmeal or banana. one in morning one in evening. basically eat good fiber to alleviate gastro side effects.

Metformin at 1 gram a day is treating my muscles quite nicely.

Metformin can cause Lactic Acidosis. I experienced this and my workouts suffered. Pain and weakness were horrible.

I have a question about using ALA and Cinnamon with chromium instead of Metformin.I'm dosing 2× day with a meal ALA 200mg,Cinnamon 2g with 200mcg chromium for insulin sensitivity. I had someone tell me to use this way,I wanna know if I was misguided. I'm running HGH year round at 4ius day split.TP Meditrope for over a year straight now.Any help would be appreciated.

berberine would most likely be easier. Pretty close to the same.

They have quite a few legit Sponsors that carry it pretty cheap for Human grade.

I have been on metformin for the larger part of 5 plus years.
As I have poor insulin sensitivity I feel it helps a great deal.

I think the negative aspects are overstated, particularly in relation to people on hormones.

How much do you take?

I take 1500-2000mg and wonder if it's the reason I keep burping. Deciding if lowering my dose will stop that.

Usually 500mg after a large carb meal.
No higher, unless eating lots of high carb meals.

Anyone who follows a keto diet have any input on dosage for metformin? Was thinking of adding it for life extension/health benefits but wondering if dosage should be adjusted if someone is eating very low carb?

No need to adjust unless you get side effects from a certain dose.

Won't make you go hypo.
