Metformin and Aging

Metformin, originally derived from French lilac, has been used for decades to manage diabetes, but its potential benefits extend far beyond glucose control. Studies suggest it may reduce mortality and delay age-related diseases such as cardiovascular issues, cancer, and cognitive decline. The ongoing TAME study aims to demonstrate to the FDA that targeting the biology of aging with metformin can prevent various diseases, shifting the focus from treating specific conditions to promoting overall longevity.
