Take 500mg glucophage three times a day. With no side effects, it allows the cells of the body to intake and use glucose..much safer than using insulin. As we age, we begin to suffer from insulin resistence--our cells don't react to our insulin they way they used to. Glucophage allows glucose to enter our cells more efficiently without. the sides of using insulin. Interestingly, many antiaging/longevity docs are recommending glucophage and an antiestrogen for long-term use to battle aging..think about it. Our Test levels decrease, our GH levels decrease and our estrogen levels increase as men age. Increasing estrogen levels and resistent insulin can be restored...even the test and GH levels can be restored if necessary, but the damaging problems are the estrogen and insulin.
