metformin is used for treating diabetis-2, its an insulin sensitizer. It can have quite some gastrointestinal side effects like loss of appetite, nausea, diarrhea (the infamous metformin shits), some even report disgust to food. Ive also read of people getting the munchis though, so, lol. Also there are studies indicating you have a harder time building muscles on it, since it fucks with protein synthesis. It also apparently reduces visceral fat long term. In the longevity scene it is/was pretty popular because it prolonged live in rodents or something.
Its not a weight loss drug though. I just add it to see if it suppresses the hunger I probably will get going hyperthyroidism. Don't do shit like this if you don't have a proper reason!
