Enhances insulin function and reduces internal stress

Improved insulin sensitivity helps stabilize blood sugar and suppress glycation, a key factor in skin aging and protein damage. This supports slower aging of cells and organs, while easing strain on the heart and pancreas.

anti-aging

Studies using metformin have highlighted the following effects:

  • Inhibition of gluconeogenesis via AMPK Activation: Metformin activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), leading to the inhibition of gluconeogenesis.
  • Modulation of lipid metabolism: It suppresses triglyceride and cholesterol synthesis while enhancing fatty acid oxidation, resulting in improved lipid profiles.

Findings from mice studies:

  • Metformin enhances insulin sensitivity and reduces blood LDL-cholesterol, showing metabolic changes similar to those observed with calorie restriction.
  • It also boosts antioxidant activity, reducing oxidative damage and chronic inflammation.
