I recently had a colonoscopy in which 2 pre cancerous polyps were removed. Doing some research I saw that metformin may help in treatment and prevention of colon polyps. There is also a lot of other info available including possibly anti aging properties.
Do any of you have experience with this?

Lots of good evidence for the anti-aging benefits, but there are side effects such as decrease in energy and stamina.

I take NMN for similar anti-aging benefits.

Metformin in just about every diabetic I ever talk to, ones starting out on it, all say that the diarrhea for a few weeks is awful.

It goes away but people either push through ( no pun intended ) or have to discontinue it . The first group is the overwhelming majority .

Every medication has a trade off. Do some research before you make a decision.

You might solve one problem but cause another.
