Been using for about two weeks now. 850mg after workouts. Pumps are good, but I'm also on Prop/Fina/Winny HEHEHE. It's cheap and relatively safe, why not give it a try? | ||

Glucophage is just the brand name for Metformin HCL, which is a glucose dicposal agent. According to clinical trials the minimum therapeutic dosage needed to achieve good glucose disposal effects was 1700mgs a day. Maximum was 2550mg/day/ I have extensively tried to glucophage, and two things. 1. It gives you serious gas. 2. It leaves a metallic taste in your mouth. In as far as effectiveness is concerned, metformin is safe and effective(it is also very cheap and available), but if you don't like the side-effects(as mentioned above), you could try ALA(alpha-lipoic acid), which is more expensive but has greater glucose- clearing effects. In a nutshell: Metformin at 1700mgs/day: -will increase glucose cleaance by 10-40% ALA at 1000mgs/day: -will increase glucose clearance by 40-50% but, is three times as expensive as Metformin Godspeed | ||

Ant FYI: Glucophage is a dieting drug not a bulking drug as it kills your appetite because it slows down gastric emptying, therefore making you feel full longer. Godspeed |
