I really wish they had a group that had the DHEA and metformin without growth hormone. I can get those easily and cheaply on the internet. I’d like to see how much of the effect they saw was just those two.
- jml78 5y agoOne of the issues with metformin is how many times it has gotten recall for cancer causing contamination. Buying on the internet, you are never going to get notified
- DeWilde 5y agoMetformin is not ideal for some if not most men. It wipes out testosterone levels. After a few weeks of taking it my T levels were below average and free-T levels were that of 100 year old men. This was a huge drop from the above average levels, for men in 20s, that I usually have.
- JohnJamesRambo 5y agoI’ve had the same experience. Feel like shit every time I get hopped up on the latest paper and try it again. I don’t want to live forever with T levels of an old man. I thought maybe I was the only one feeling this way, although I had seen the papers about it lowering testosterone.
- DeWilde 5y ago[0] might be relevant to you, seen other papers that I found when I discovered this issue. From what I gathered the reason for this is that metformin reduces blood cholesterol levels which are important for testosterone production.
