Metformin

Biguanide | AMPK Activator & Longevity Research

Metformin exerts its primary effects through activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), the cell's master energy sensor. AMPK activation triggers a cascade of downstream metabolic improvements: enhanced glucose uptake in skeletal muscle, suppression of hepatic gluconeogenesis, improved mitochondrial function, and increased fatty acid oxidation.

Half-life: ~5 hours Typical dose: 500-2000 mg/day longevity, metabolic
