What is Metformin?

Metformin is a well-known oral medication traditionally used to manage type 2 diabetes. In recent years, it has gained recognition in longevity and anti-aging medicine due to its impact on insulin sensitivity, mitochondrial health, inflammation, and cellular aging. As a caloric restriction mimetic, Metformin is now widely used off-label to support metabolic health, fat loss, and cellular resilience, with potential to reduce age-related diseases and improve health span.

Benefits:

  • Enhances insulin sensitivity and stabilizes blood sugar
  • May reduce visceral fat and improve body composition
  • Supports mitochondrial function and metabolic flexibility
  • May reduce the risk of age-related diseases (heart disease, cancer, cognitive decline)
  • Activates cellular repair pathways (AMPK, autophagy)

How does it work?

Metformin targets multiple aging-related pathways through metabolic regulation and mitochondrial support:

1. AMPK Activation

  • Metformin activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a key energy sensor that promotes fat oxidation, glucose uptake, and mitochondrial biogenesis—mimicking the effects of fasting.

2. Insulin Sensitivity & Glycemic Control

  • It lowers circulating insulin and glucose levels, helping reduce systemic inflammation and oxidative stress, two hallmarks of aging and metabolic decline.

3. mTOR Pathway Modulation

  • By inhibiting the mTOR pathway, Metformin slows down cellular overgrowth and supports autophagy—a crucial anti-aging process for cellular cleanup and repair.

Frequently asked questions
What can I expect with Metformin treatment?
  • Start with500mg once daily, gradually titrate up to 1000–2000mg daily if tolerated
  • Week 1–2:Improved blood sugar and appetite control
  • Week 4+:Enhanced energy, fat loss, cognitive clarity
  • Full anti-aging and metabolic benefits seen with consistent, long-term use
  • Best when combined with fasting, low-glycemic nutrition, and exercise
  • Missed dose? Skip and resume at the next scheduled time—do not double up
What are the possible side effects of Metformin?

Common (Typically transient):
• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Gas or bloating
• Metallic taste

Less Common / Monitor If Present:
• Vitamin B12 deficiency (check annually)
• Lactic acidosis (rare; risk higher in kidney/liver impairment or alcohol abuse)
• Decreased appetite or mild fatigue

Precautions:

  • Not recommended in patients with eGFR <30 mL/min
  • Caution with alcohol or severe calorie restriction
  • Monitor B12 annually with long-term use
  • Take with food to reduce GI side effects
