Should we all be taking metformin?

[Lux]

aids with wieght loss & it seems like a lot of people in the online health/biohacking community are taking it to extend lifespan & help w insulin resistance. Is there a good reason not to take it? I need to research the mechanism of action myself but if anyone wants to explain please go ahead.

It helps with aging but reduces natural test levels. If you're taking test it's okay

my conclusion so far is that it's like berberine, bad for igf and testosterone, protein synthesis.

alpha lipoic acid and chromium picolinate is what i'll stick to

Supposedly reduces muscle growth, so, it can be bad for gym gains.

BERBERINE IS A RETARDED SUPPLEMENT MUST READ IF CONSIDERING IT

Based on a mice study that’s kind of related. I guess dude. Do whatever you want but I could find a shitty move study for every supplement. Berberine has way more benefits than negatives, especially for longevity, and to counteract shitty western diets (nobody eats perfectly clean).

Alpha Lipoic Acid and Chromium Picolinate have all that upside w/out the negative.
