Glucophage

[Viking]

A question for the experienced bros.
I can get as much Glucophage as I want, almost for free.
Right now I'm taking 500mg in the morning and 500mg after workout with the gainer.
Am I using it right?
What's your opinion on Glucophage(metformin)

We were talking about this stuff not long ago. Basicly i don't find it as effective as insaline, not even close, but it does work a bit different. It cleans your insaline receptors and makes them more sencitive, so your body will produce it's own slin a little better. It does work well when dieting as it keeps blood sugar fairly low. You dose is about right, might want to go to around 1500mg per day say morning noon, and night. I personally found it very hard on my stomach so make it very hard to eat enough.

Be careful. I don't recommend using Glucophage outside of prescribed means (unlike insulin ) I think the most you will experience is an upset stomach, fluctuations (drastic) in blood sugar, and lots and lots of diarrhea. I wouldnt bother brother.

Mike your right on 2/3 diarrhea yes, upset stomach yes, but even on low(under 100g carbs per day) didn't find it affected my blood sugar too much.
