Metformin HCL....acquiring knowledge

[jozifp103]

I've been reading up on this drug recently. Is there anyone with experience with it? It's supposed to up-regulate your insulin receptors to better allow your body to process carbohydrates and minimize fat storage. Similar to insulin it seems. I can't seem to find anything about negative side effects other than the rare possibility of hypoglycemia if not eating enough carbs. Nowhere near as common as with slin though.

Has anyone used this? How do the results compare to slin? Worth trying at some point down the road?


***This question is for educational purposes only. This is not something I plan on using in the near future. Just trying to gain some knowledge in case I decide to try something new down the road.

Thanks!

I consider it something to be used in conjunction with insulin - that is, on the days that you don't use insulin. if you use insulin on workout days, take metformin on off days with carb meals. it keeps you sensitive to the insulin so you don't get so fat when using it (gh also makes you less sensitive to insulin). I experienced considerable loss of appetite on the days that I used it... that was really the only side effect. im going to start using it again here in the near term.

it regulates high blood sugar by reducing sugar adsorption and production. it isnt the best compound to dabble in.

it shuts down livers sugar production. AAS is already hard enough on your liver and this drug is specifically design to shut down a liver function. not wise to mess with this drug just sayn, risks very high vs benefits very little
