About Metformin.
Metformin is one of the most prescribed medications globally, primarily for type 2 diabetes management. Beyond glycemic control, extensive research supports its role as a longevity compound — activating AMPK, reducing mTOR signaling, and being associated with reduced all-cause mortality in observational studies.
