Metformin

Metformin is a biguanide medication and the globally recognized first-line therapy for the management of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Beyond its primary role in glycemic control, it is increasingly studied for its pleiotropic effects, meaning it impacts multiple biological pathways simultaneously. It is one of the most widely prescribed and cost-effective drugs in history, frequently used off-label for conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and prediabetes. Recently, it has gained significant attention in the wellness and longevity community for its potential to delay the onset of age-related diseases.
