Glucophage

[Abombs]

I love slin and know how to use it as safely as possible. But one of my friends sells glucophage for his company. The kid has boxes and boxes of it. Anyone ever try it? How are the results?

I have used it myself, basically makes you more sensitve to insulin. Taken after high carb meals made me full kinda pumped all over. Big A has great info on this, perhaps he will reply to you as well.

Glucophage:
Known Name Brands: Glucophage, Mellitron

Description: Glucophage - 850 mg. tablets - 40 per box. Glucophage is a brand name for metformin which is an oral hypoglycemic drug. Glucophage was made to be used to control adult onset diabetes. This drug is will increase the body's ability to transport glucose into the muscle cells much better by increasing insulin sensitivity. This substance will also inhibit the body's formation of sugar by the liver whereby lowering insulin secretion in the body. This substance is very similar to phenformin, that is also an oral hypoglycemic except that phenformin is considered the harsher of the two compounds.

Phenformin is considered to be from 5 - 10 times stronger than Glucophage at what it does for the body on a mg. per mg. comparison.

Glucophage has signifigantly less side effects than phenformin has as well. The chance for an overdose causing hypoglycemia with the use of Glucophage is dose related whereas you almost have to take a lethal dose. It is common knowledge that Glucophage will increase insulin sensitivity as well.

As far as bodybuilders are concerned, this product is used as an oral form of insulin. It will cause greater glycogen supercompensation during carb-ups as well as lowering blood glucose for those that are using the BodyOpus or Atkins diet to induce ketosis more easily. Common side effects of Glucophage are a metallic taste in the mouth, nausea, and vomiting. This will become on the next big drugs used by professional bodybuilders in the coming years for its ability as a repartitioning agent and blood glucose disposal agent.

Effective Dose: 1,700 mg. per day in divided doses. You have to take this with meals and with water to avoid stomach upset.

Street Price: Glucophage is very expensive in the US so I would anticipate a rather steep street price as well. Probably about $3 per pill.

Stacking Info: This compound is commonly taken with creatine in order to help shuttle the creatine into the muscles more effectively since this product increases insulin sensitivity.

Been experimenting using it w/ slin also. Some guys use it before workouts too. Some people take it before meals but, have found taking it after works just as well.
