Metformin for Longevity

One of the most commonly prescribed and powerful drugs for diabetes treatment is Metformin. Its use dates back to the 1950s in Europe and 1995 in the US. 

As an off-label medication, Metformin shows impressive results when used to treat other ailments. These ailments include excess weight gain, PCOS in women, prediabetes, and gestational diabetes. 

While there are claims that Metformin can improve longevity, the drug is yet to be approved as an anti-aging drug. Either way, here’s how Metformin may extend lifespan.

Metformin Effects on Lifespan

The benefits associated with Metformin as a treatment for Type 2 diabetes have a scientific basis. What is still unclear is whether the drug can help extend lifespan in humans. These concerns are a result of studies done on mice on Metformin’s lifespan-extending effects.

In these studies, Metformin seems to slow down some of the transcriptional changes that are common with aging. However, researchers are still trying to uncover whether the drug can have the same effect on people without life-threatening or age-related diseases. Even more, despite being used for more than six decades as a diabetes medication, scientists can’t uncover the cellular mechanisms that Metformin uses to slow aging. 

Cancer Protective Effects of Metformin

People with diabetes are at a high risk of cancer compared to those who don’t have this condition. While Metformin can help them control their blood sugars, it can also reduce their risk of developing cancer. 

In particular, Metformin seems to help prevent the risk of developing stomach cancer. Claims that the drug has anti-cancer properties may be valid if the patients with diabetes have fewer or no cancers in their bodies when taking it.

Studies continue to be done on Metformin's effect on rectum, colon, and prostate cancer prevention. Most of them focus on whether the drug can reduce the recurrence of these cancers. 

Cardiovascular Disease Prevention

Cardiovascular disease tends to develop when the arteries harden, a condition known as atherosclerosis. The heart's arteries may harden due to damage to the arterial wall lining, accumulation of oxidized fat in arterial walls, and LDL cholesterol oxidation.

It's being suggested that Metformin can help prevent atherosclerosis from developing. The drug activates AMPK, a metabolic regulator that reduces LDL cholesterol oxidation. AMPK also minimizes fat accumulation in the vessel walls and protects the artery walls.

Summing up

Besides being a powerful antidiabetic, Metformin can help extend lifespan. The drug prevents age-related illnesses like neurocognitive decline, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. However, research on this topic is still inconclusive, and the drug is yet to be approved for longevity and anti-aging.

I have ordered Metformin from Kiwi, and from another site. The Metformin from Kiwi lowered my blood sugar. The Metformin from the other site did not. The Kiwi product is the real deal.
