Metformin
Also used to treat type 2 diabetes, this medication is taken twice a day to lower blood sugar by helping the body use sugar more effectively. It may also help reduce fat buildup and has recently gained attention for its anti-aging benefits.
Key features
Improves blood sugar control and metabolism
Metformin lowers glucose production and absorption while boosting muscle glucose use, for stable blood sugar and weight management.
Slows cellular aging and supports cell renewal
By promoting autophagy and protecting mitochondria, metformin helps clear aged cellular components and maintain healthy metabolism.
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.
Supports gut health and whole-body wellness
By boosting short-chain fatty acids and balancing gut microbiota, this treatment promotes better immune function and metabolism—key factors in healthy aging.
Suppresses reactive oxygen species (ROS)
Helps prevent lifestyle-related diseases like type 2 diabetes, obesity, and hypertension by reducing oxidative stress. Also supports the prevention of wrinkles, sagging, and signs of aging.
Suppresses inflammation
Helps reduce the risk of arteriosclerosis, cancer, and other conditions linked to tissue damage and chronic inflammation.
