    I"m going to consider this to be true because I have been taking 2X1000 mgs of metformin for over 25 years for type 2 diabetes. No negative side effects, no liver or kidney damage, vitamin B-12 level is normal.....and metformin is cheap. I have no proof that metformin can extend my lifespan, but I am 78 now, 79 in a couple of months and that is 5 years older than the second longest lived person in my immediate family. The best thing is, metformin has allowed me to eat at least some of what I like, while still maintaining my A1C in the normal range for a non-diabetic. Highly recommended by me, and there is IMO, a huge pile of BS being spread on the internet about metformin, and it being harmful..........

      Metformin is proven to provide results, unfortunately sometimes the message gets lost through the internet.

      Update, I'm 80 now and still taking 2X1000mgs of metformin daily. No problems, B-12 level (recently taken) still in middle of desired range. Kidneys are fine, and I still get the metformin free with my insurance. I don't plan to stop taking it because I think I am having a side effect, it appears that side effect is.......longevity. That is a side effect I can live with...

    In AGE LATER he doesnt say how many mgs he takes...should be more specific. I digress...Hypoxic training (the Buteyko technique), offers HUGE benefits. It boosts red blood cells, allowing you to carry more oxygen and produce more energy with each breath. It is ANTI AGING!
