A simple pill with big potential

Metformin has been around for decades, but researchers are now exploring it for something bigger: healthy aging. By supporting how your body handles energy, stress, and inflammation, it could help keep you feeling better, longer.

Aging, rewritten

Supports cellular health

Metformin activates AMPK, which promotes mitochondrial biogenesis, improves mitochondrial function, and enhances autophagy, or the process your body uses to clear out damaged cells.¹ This leads to more efficient energy production and better overall cellular health, both key factors for mental performance and healthy aging.

Reduces inflammation

Metformin has been shown to suppress inflammatory pathways and reduce production of inflammatory cytokines. It also decreases reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can damage DNA and accelerate aging.¹ Together, these effects help protect tissues from chronic, low-grade inflammation and oxidative damage.

Improves metabolic function

Metformin improves insulin sensitivity, reduces glucose production in the liver, and can help decrease appetite, making it a powerful tool for managing weight and maintaining metabolic balance.² These effects may also reduce the risk of developing metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes as we age.

Promotes healthy aging

Metformin may lengthen both lifespan and healthspan by targeting core aging mechanisms like inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cellular senescence. This has also been shown to delay the onset of age-related diseases including some cancers, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegeneration.¹

What is Metformin ER?

Metformin is a time-tested prescription medication originally developed to help manage blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. In recent years, it’s gained attention far beyond that, being explored for its potential to support healthy aging, metabolic function, and cellular resilience. Formulated as an extended-release (ER) capsule, our Metformin ER is designed for easy absorption and reduced side effects. Whether you’re focused on energy, inflammation, or long-term health span, Metformin may be a powerful addition to your proactive wellness routine.

Taking Metformin

Metformin’s main role is to improve how the body responds to insulin, but its impact goes deeper. It activates AMPK, an enzyme that signals cells to enter repair mode—potentially reducing oxidative stress, lowering inflammation, and optimizing how your body uses energy. This kind of cellular upkeep may help slow age-related decline and support long-term health. On top of all this, our extended release (ER) formula acts to lessen the stress on your digestive system, making for a more comfortable treatment.

What to expect

Our Metformin ER is designed to work behind the scenes to support long-term metabolic maintenance with minimal side effects. While there won’t be an overnight change, many people report steadier energy, easier weight management, and improved biomarkers tied to longevity. Over time, you’ll start to notice more of the potential anti-aging benefits.

Side effects

Like all treatments, Metformin can come with a few side effects. The good news? Our extended-release formula along with starting with lower dosing helps mediate these side effects, and symptoms are usually short-lived.

Digestive upset

Things like nausea, bloating, or diarrhea are common, especially in the first week or two. Eating small, frequent meals with adequate hydration can help.

Vitamin B12 deficiency

B12 levels may decline a bit in some people. It’s worth checking levels annually and supplementing if needed. Signs of low B12 like fatigue or tingling are rare and reversible.

Reduced appetite

While it can be helpful for weight loss, it’s important to flag any large changes in appetite with your provider so that your dosage or treatment plan can be adjusted accordingly.

Common questions about Metformin

Visit our FAQ page for more

Who is a good candidate for Metformin ER?

While Metformin is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes, you don’t need to have diabetes to benefit from it. A good candidate is someone looking to support long-term health with a low-risk, research-backed option with minimal side effects. As always, a provider will help determine if it’s a safe and appropriate fit for your goals.

Could Metformin cause my blood sugar to drop?

Metformin isn't known to cause dangerously low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). That said, some people are more sensitive to lower blood sugar, and may notice symptoms like lightheadedness, fatigue, or nausea when starting Metformin. Starting with a low dose (like 500mg daily) can help your body adjust. Most people, including those with a history of hypoglycemia, tolerate low doses well. It's important to maintain open communication with your provider and disclose any symptoms you may experience so that your treatment plan can be adjusted as needed.

Do I need to worry about lactic acidosis while I am taking Metformin?

Lactic acidosis is an extremely rare but serious side effect. The risk is very low in healthy individuals with normal kidney function. It’s more of a concern for people with significantly impaired kidney or liver function, or conditions that reduce oxygen flow, like severe infections, dehydration, or heart failure. That’s why it’s important to take Metformin as directed, only under the guidance of a licensed provider, who will assess your risk and monitor your health as needed.

Will Metformin help me lose weight?

Weight loss isn’t guaranteed, but some people do notice a reduced appetite and slow, steady changes in body composition. Metformin supports better metabolic function, which can make it easier to manage weight alongside a healthy lifestyle.

Can Metformin be taken long-term?

Usually, yes, but it’s important to check with your provider. It’s one of the most widely prescribed medications in the world, with a strong safety track record going back decades. That’s a big reason why it’s being studied so heavily for long-term benefits like healthy aging and disease prevention.

How is my treatment personalized?

Our Metformin extended-release formula comes in 500mg capsules. Our patients are typically prescribed one of these capsules daily, but the doctor may deem a different schedule or dosage to be a better fit for you, especially after evaluating your progress in your first follow-up. Your treatment plan will be personalized to fit your unique needs, goals, and health history. Be sure to fill out your intake forms thoroughly and honestly to allow the doctor to prescribe the best plan for you.

I started Metformin for general health and aging after reading up on it. I’ve noticed more consistent energy and fewer post-meal crashes. It took a couple of weeks for my stomach to adjust, but now I barely think about it, it’s just part of my routine.

I feel more in control of my appetite and my focus is better throughout the day. The appetite suppression was unexpected but honestly helpful. Just make sure you eat when you take it or it can make you a little queasy.
