Ryujiin Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I was not sure what section to throw this up under but I did not find a thread on Metformin so I thought why not start one. I have been seeing a lot more people taking this in the 1g to 2g dose per day (divided) for both body comp and anti-aging. Love to hear some thoughts for the NL crew. Most info out there is of course purely for medical use in a type 2 diabetes treatment setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitz Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I've heard good things however it seems like most bodybuilders now use berberine instead of metformin. There are studies showing 1500mg of berberine is the same as 1500mg of metformin. If you find a good glucose disposal agent they usually include berberine, cinnamon and other supplements that in sum do more than metformin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently using 500mg berberine 2-3x a day with meals containing 60-75gr carbs. I've used metformin a long while back and much prefer berberine to it. I got lots of gas from metformin and minor bloating from it. Nothing from berberine... In fact toss 2-3 berberine back with a couple five guys burgers and fries at night, go hit legs the next morning, prepare for a pump.

ANABOLIC COACH Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I have been using metformin for several years the numerous health benefits and anti-aging properties and disease prevention benefits make metformin one of the best drugs you can take the bloating and gas from metformin is due to the fact you have a large amount of bad bacteria in your gut, this will pass in time, just reduce the dose and keep going make sure to take after a meal as this will help for those that suffer from this best health benefits come from around 1800mg daily from medical studies which is an odd number since most are 500mg tab dose start with 1000mg and once your stomach gets better bump to 1500mg Berberine is good also but metformin is much better, not in same league, plus much of berberine is of low quality so beware some coaches don't like it because of the fact it reduces igf-1, but if you are on gear you have nothing to worry about others complain of a lowered testosterone level but I have done my blood work even when not on any gear and it didn't effect me at all one of the best long term health compounds you can take plus it does help drop fat from another pathway, increase good gut bacteria, prevents diabetes, heart disease and even cancer among numerous other benefits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
