Metformin - How Do You Use It?

[car09013]

Just curious as to how you guys are you using your metformin. Pre-workout or post-workout? In conjunction with Slin, GH? I have some on hand and am looking for protocols to run it with.

Took 500mg a couple times last week with some high carb meals. Bloated my stomach like crazy for a couple hours after. Will continue to experiment with it...

When I did use it, I took 500mg before bed. Never experienced any gastro difficulties with it, but that's only my experience.

i take 500 mg three times a day, breakfast lunch and dinner. its not really like slin it is a medication that you will get the benefit from after you take consistently for a decent amount of time. so imo it should be run like a d bol cycle at least one month taken several times a day preferably with meals

as for slin with metformorfin you would just need less per day. idk maybe go from 12 iu per day to 8 iu.

what are you trying to achieve with this protocol? I always thought metformin was to regulate blood sugar and slow gastric emptying, mainly for metabolic syndrome or diabetes...

it makes insulin receptors more sensitive. it may do all those things also but mainly is controls blood sugar by making insulin resistant diabetics more sensitive to insulin. and it needs to be taken for a decent period to aheive desired results imo it works better than taking some pwo with your slin. when diabetics are givien it they are on it either indefinetly or for a long period.
