What's is Metformin
Metformin, a widely used drug for managing type 2 diabetes, has gained significant attention for its potential longevity benefits based on multiple preclinical and clinical studies. The interest in metformin as a longevity agent stems from its role in modulating pathways linked to aging and chronic diseases.
The mechanisms through which metformin operates are multifaceted, involving modulation of metabolic processes, reduction of inflammation, and potential impacts on cancer biology. One of the primary mechanisms attributed to metformin's effects on longevity is its ability to enhance insulin sensitivity and reduce hyperglycemia. By activating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), metformin promotes cellular energy homeostasis, which is crucial for maintaining metabolic health

Why Metformin
Why Metformin
Metformin: A Pathway to Longevity
Studies suggest metformin may promote longevity by activating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a key energy regulator that inhibits the mTOR pathway, implicated in aging and age-related diseases. Inhibiting mTOR, often dysregulated in aging and cancer, reduces cell proliferation. Metformin’s anti-inflammatory effects further support its potential to combat chronic low-grade inflammation, a hallmark of aging.
Metformin: Beyond Diabetes, Fighting Cancer
Metformin has been reported to possess anti-cancer properties beyond its glucose-lowering activity. It has been associated with decreased cancer incidence and improved survival outcomes in several types of cancer, including pancreatic and colorectal cancers3. The primary mechanisms include activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and inhibition of mammalian targets of rapamycin (mTOR), which are crucial in cancer cell growth and metabolism
Metformin: A Key to Healthy Aging
Clinical and preclinical evidence suggests metformin may reduce age-related diseases and promote healthy aging. Diabetic patients on metformin experience lower mortality and fewer cardiovascular complications. Trials like TAME are exploring its role in extending healthspan and lifespan. In model organisms like C. elegans and mice, metformin extends lifespan by modulating metabolism and reducing inflammation, showing promise as a prophylactic against aging-related decline.

Our Team & Our Aim
Our team of three experienced medical doctors, with a strong track record of publications in high-impact SCI and SCI-E journals, is embarking on an ambitious research project to investigate the longevity benefits of metformin.
Metformin, widely recognized for its efficacy in managing type 2 diabetes, has drawn growing interest for its potential to influence aging and chronic disease pathways. Preclinical and clinical studies suggest that metformin may play a pivotal role in modulating mechanisms associated with aging, opening new avenues for research in longevity science.
As part of this initiative, we are planning a series of animal studies to investigate the mechanisms by which metformin may affect longevity. These studies will help us understand how metformin changes biological processes related to aging and give us important information about its therapeutic potential beyond its usual usage.
Our aim is to contribute meaningful insights to the existing body of knowledge by designing and conducting rigorous studies. Through evidence-based research and scientific collaboration, we strive to advance understanding in this promising field and provide a foundation for future innovations in age-related medicine.
