Why Bioavailability is the Key to Support When we realize our antioxidant levels might be lower than ideal, the first instinct is often to reach for a supplement
While Metformin inhibits complex 1 of the respiratory chain in the mitochondria leading to an increase in adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which in turn inhibits hepatic gluconeogenesis, the concentration of Metformin needed to achieve such effects in humans is supra-therapeutic (71, 72)
However, these findings are based on a very small pilot trial and require confirmation in larger, adequately powered studies
