Metformin

METFORMIN (Glucophage)

Benefits

Full muscles: Muscles will grow fuller when metformin is used with high carbohydrate diets.

Lack of fat storage: Metformin helps prevent fat from being deposited, so you get full benefits from carbohydrate heavy meals, without worrying to end up storing fat. This is why diabetics say they ‘lean out’ on this drug.

Insulin receptors: Metformin helps keep muscle cells sensitized for insulin that the body produces.

Appetite suppression: This drug will limit hunger, so it’s perfect for those doing a ketogenic diet. Furthermore, on re-feed days it makes a perfect addition to your carbohydrate heavy cheat day.

Pumps: Bodybuilders claim to get tremendous pumps when using metformin.

However, there are a fair amount of side effects you guys should be aware of.

SIDES

These are some of the common side effects I have come across from researching the drug.
Nausea, Vomiting, Gas, Bloating, Diarrhea, Appetite Suppression

Half Life

The half life is listed as 4-6 hours. However, there are slow releasing extended tabs available. Bodybuilders should stick to the faster acting version as mentioned above.

Dosing for Bodybuilders

Full muscles can be achieved if 500-1000 milligrams (mgs) are taken within 1 hour after a large carbohydrate meal.

For those of you wanting a non pharma alternative.., studies have shown that Berberine has similar effects.
It's an extract from the bark of the Berberis plant.
I heard a doctor talking about it being useful for insulin regulation etc.

He also talked about Metformin in particular as being almost like a doctors best kept secret. Referring to life extension effects.

Interesting drug.

Yes it works the same but metformin is far superior imo and combined with hgh it actually increases igf1 and we aren’t sure if it’s a lowers igf1 in muscle or not without hgh you’ll have lowered igf1 just like tren gives a false igf1 level
