Metformin is not FDA approved for anti aging. @geetasnani you are misleading people with this post. The FDA approved for clinical trials of metformin for this indication.

https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02432287

Currently, Metformin is only FDA approved for type 2 diabetes, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, and Myoclonus Epilepsy. There is not a recognized oxygen increase from Metformin, although the exact mechanism behind its effects is not completely understood at this time.

Metformin is a Biguanide medication that does decrease the livers production of glucose, decreases the intestines absorption of glucose, and increases the effectiveness of insulin to the rest of the body.

I thought its some melatonin stuff

I generally go to the FDA database and check about medicines ... I am not there going as that will eventually lead me to pubmed and I will end up reading!

I don't speak medicines, But this one is something I will bookmark this maybe save the page. Because I need to remember this when I hit 60. LOL
Thank you for sharing this.

Now where should I write it

Haha true that... I will remind u dnt worry

Lol! It can work when age hasn't come. When true aging comes, no drug can slow it down.

yeah but science and innovation has changed many things

Family History of the individual should be known before prescribing Metmorfin.
It can be given in individuals with family history of diabetis or PCOS. In others there is a risk of hormonal imbalance.

yeah you are correct all medicines should be taken as under supersion of doctors only
