Have u ever tried this fat loss agent? Need some feedback.
bumb this, i'm also interested about Glucophage
ive ran it before. It seemed to work. from the research ive done, its supposed to be like reallllly strong Alpha Lipoic Acid. But its just a glucose flusher. keeps glucose out of your body so you burn fat for fuel. Basically induces a deep ketogenic state.
I still prefer to consume high doses of ALA. around 3 grams a day. It helps carbs to not stick to fat cells, helps muscles for fuel, antioxident blah blah. One thing i DO know is that when you dose that high it makes your piss REAK.
Its just as expensive as ALA and illegal, i picked mine up in mexico awhile back. Just grab some ALA from GNC and save yourself the trouble.
300mg ALA tablets
Clenbuterol
and Diet. and you WILL cut
oh yea. cardio ...lots of it
Glucophage controls liver glucose, I like avadia better, it helps shutle nuteriants into the muscle

Unearth: what dosage did you run it mate?
side effects? specifically did it affect your appetite?

Some doctors who work in shady diet centres will prescribe metformin for weight loss, as there is a mild amount of weight loss associated with it, maybe 2-5 lbs tops. with actos and avandia, you may see an increase in weight as one of the sides is peripheral edema, so the weight may be due to water retention or due to your body absorbing more nutrients (as it does when you inject insulin)
The other diabetic agent which some shady doctors prescribe to help people lose weight is Acarbose, it inhibits the absorption of carbs before they enter the stomach (not sure on exact mechanism of action). again, you wont see a significant effect and the sides are pretty bad (lots of gi problems, upset stomach and diarhea)
Metformin is cheap as hell (at least in canada it is) but i still wouldnt waste your money.
I used it a few years back. It's comprable to insulin, as a glucose dispersal agent...when I didn't eat right...I got all sleepy and shitty. I'd say you should avoid it.
thanx a lot...
True. That's exactly what it says in my glucophage instructions leaflet.Quote:

No hypoglycemia with metformin alone, I'm not sure if that's what hooker was saying happened to him though, maybe he was, I dunno.Quote:

True, especially if you already have normal blood glucose levels to begin with and are not diabetic. I can see why that would make you feel like shittQuote:
