Greetings everybody.
I have recently started taking Metformin. 850mg twice daily via oral route. Now I am slightly confused about Metformin since it has recently been suggested to improve life span. However, my question is that it has been associated with heart disease and also Alzheimers disease. Is it really wise to be taking Metformin at this point? I am a healthy 18 year old male without diabetes or any other illnesses.
I am also confused on the exact effect of Metformin on AD since some studies show it to be effective in preventing AD: http://www.nhs.uk/ne...s-dementia.aspx
And others show something drastically different: http://www.medscape....article/764413
Your help would be amazing!
