Yep I’m on 250 mg now. It should be known metformin Can lower testosterone, so that’s why I’m on such a low dose. I took it cause I was exhausted after meals and had high ish fasting glucose.

It’s giving me slightly better energy! Haven’t been exhausted after a meal in a while, too.

yeah the OP paper says it is a mixed HDAC inhibitor/agonist that must be why it fucks testosterone/igf receptors

curcumin(injectable) or hydralazine might be a better choice with a HDAC inhibitor like valproate

they are just as good as metformin for longevity it seems

and what they all have in common?? DNA methyltransferase inhibition :thinking:

David sinclair an anti aging doctor uses it because it activates sirtuins pathways just as exercise and fasting does.
