The quest for anti-aging solutions is widespread. Globally, millions of people are interested in products, treatments, and lifestyles that promise to slow down or reverse the signs of aging. This includes everything from skincare products and supplements to advanced medical procedures.
Metformin, a drug primarily used for managing type 2 diabetes, has recently gained attention for its potential anti-aging benefits. Developed in the 1950s, Metformin improves insulin sensitivity and lowers blood sugar levels. Re-cent research suggests its benefits may extend to influencing the aging process itself.
Studies have explored Metformin’s effects on cellular mechanisms associated with longevity. (Johnson, S. C) Metformin’s potential anti-aging effects might be linked to its ability to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. Both factors are associated with aging and chronic diseases. (Banerjee, S., & Bandyopadhyay) The drug’s anti-inflammatory properties could help mitigate some of the cellular damage that accumulates over time, potentially slowing the aging process and improving health span.
Metformin is not yet approved for anti-aging purposes. Its use for this indication should be approached with caution and under medical supervision.
