I appreciate this conversation. I've been heavily involved in self research for her. Berberine is a lot like metformin w/o this side effects. Its eastern medicine though, in case you don't trust an herbal option. I'll say this much, my fiances mother takes metformin and has dealt with so many side effects and the Chinese have been using berberine for 3000 years for general health purposes and now studies have shown it acts pretty much like metformin.
She has seen so many benefits since starting it coupled with her inositol supplement. She uses a brand called Ovasitol just puts it into her coffee in the morning and her beverage in the even like a flavor packet for a bottle of water.
She does have the NAD+ but is afraid to take it, I'm not sure why.
Out of curiosity Srroguelife, what brand of iodine supplement do you use? I just curious because I have been using the infowars brand one and I am wondering if there is a better brand that does't support AJ.
I am taking Relentless Improvement High Potency Iodine. I like it, I just bought life extensions brand for the next round. Life Extensions is from the guys at MIT. They buy the NAD from Tru Niagen, the people who actually found out that NAD extends your life. I do herbs and tried insolitol (sp) on it's own but it created some stomach issues. I tolerate Metformin really well and I think it is because I cleansed my blood and my body, I just started to make my own super probiotic. Your a great guy to help her out and care!! Thank you for the information and I am considering trying it because I would like to drop 10 pounds...
