Metformin is one of a number of drugs widely used in the treatment of Type II diabetes. It was first approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1994.
How Does Metformin Work?
Metformin has the effect of lowering blood glucose levels in the following ways. It reduces the amount of glucose produced by the liver; as well as the amount absorbed through the stomach. It also improves the effectiveness of insulin in the body by reducing existing blood glucose levels. It does not however, increase the concentration of blood insulin, nor does it cause excessively low blood glucose levels (or hypoglycemia) when used alone.
What Is It Used To Treat?
In 1998, the UK Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) conducted research on a sample of overweight patients with Type II diabetes. The results of the study proved that Metformin was the only anti-diabetic drug capable of reducing the risk of cardiovascular complications commonly associated with the disease.
Anti-Aging Benefits
Most individuals past middle age suffer from a loss of glucose tolerance. Metformin is believed to have anti-aging benefits as it can reduce the risk of age-related diabetes, prevent sugar cravings, and stabilize sugar levels. It has also been shown to lower cholesterol levels and help prevent low-density lipoproteins (‘bad cholesterol’) from attaching to blood platelets and arteries..

Naltrexone was originally designed to help people overcome addiction to opioids and alcohol. This is because naltrexone blocks the opioid receptors blocking the ‘pleasure’ of taking those agents.
What’s been discovered since then is that much lower doses of naltrexone (4.5mg capsules), are effective in the treatment of a wide range of autoimmune diseases including MS, lupus and HIV. Information is even coming to light that it could also aid patients with ALS, Crohn’s, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. More >>>

D3-Pro Are you getting enough Vitamin D? It is estimated that over 1 billion people globally are Vitamin D deficient.
Vitamin D, in its active form calcitriol, is essential for healthy bones. Not only does Vitamin D promote calcium absorption in the intestines and reabsorption of calcium in the kidneys, it also acts to maintain adequate serum calcium and phosphate concentrations. Apart from helping to build bone, Vitamin D also enhances muscle strength, possesses anti-inflammatory properties, strengthens our immune systems, helps the action of insulin and has anti-cancer properties.
