🔎 An Incredible Fat-Loss and Anti-Aging Tool - Metformin (Glucophage) 101

Metformin is a very popular medication used to treat type 2 diabetes and polycystic ovary syndrome. Now, before you think this is definitely not for you, keep reading because this has a ton of applications in a bodybuilding and anti-aging context!

Metformin lowers blood glucose levels. This means that it can improve insulin sensitivity and aid in losing fat while also improving muscle building and nutrient partitioning.

Besides that it can also lower cholesterol and improve erectile function, two things that any bodybuilder on SARMs or AAS will appreciate. Finally, it has also been shown to contribute to longevity as well as fight certain kinds of cancer.

All in all, a great drug with tons of health benefits that can help just about anyone, including athletes.

But what about the side-effects? Well, the reality is that when used responsibly it is extremely safe. Hypoglycemia is a risk if combined with other blood glucose-lowering medications, but it can be solved by ingesting carbs.

There is also data showing that it may inhibit mTOR, which is linked to muscle growth. However, in the real world Metformin does not appear to limit muscle growth in any significant way. Quite the opposite, in fact.

The normal Metformin dose when bulking up is 1000mg/day, taken twice a day (morning and night). If you are cutting, opt for 250mg twice a day for a total of 500mg/day instead. Always try to take it before eating carbs.

👨🏻‍⚕️ Hypertension in PED Users and Bodybuilders

Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a serious medical condition that affects millions of individuals worldwide. While it can be caused by various factors, one particular group that faces an increased risk of developing hypertension is performance-enhancing drug (PED) users, including bodybuilders. This article aims to shed light on the relationship between PED use, bodybuilding, and hypertension, while providing practical steps to manage and reduce the associated risks.

Performance-enhancing drugs, such as anabolic steroids and growth hormone and even some stimulants, are often used by bodybuilders to enhance muscle growth, strength, the ability to lose body fat, and overall athletic performance. Unfortunately, the use of these substances comes with potential health risks, including the development of hypertension.

📋 C-reactive protein (CRP): The silent killer

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a substance produced by the liver in response to inflammation in the body. CRP is a type of acute phase protein, which means that its production is rapidly increased in response to tissue injury, infection, or inflammation. CRP is often used as a biomarker to monitor disease activity, assess the effectiveness of treatment, and predict the risk of cardiovascular disease.

💉 Cerebrolysin 101: the ultimate nootropic?

Cerebrolysin is believed to act on various receptors in the brain, including those for BDNF. BDNF is a protein that plays a crucial role in the development and function of the nervous system. It supports the survival of existing neurons and stimulates the growth of new ones. By acting on BDNF receptors, Cerebrolysin may help to promote the growth and function of neurons (neurogenesis), leading to improved brain function.

However, as you are about to see, Cerebrolysin also appears to have benefits which can not be explained by the BDNF mechanism of action. More research is needed to fully understand how it works.

💊 Semax 101 – a nootropic for bodybuilders

Semax is a synthetic peptide derived from the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), a peptide hormone responsible for stimulating the adrenal glands to produce cortisol. However, Semax only constitutes a fraction of the ACTH amino acid chain, so its effects are vastly different.

Semax was originally developed by Russian scientists for the prevention and treatment of circulatory disorders like strokes and transient ischemic attacks, as well as neurodegenerative disorders. It is still prescribed in Russia and other post-Soviet states for treating the aforementioned disorders, but it is more frequently used off-label as a nootropic.

💊 Phenibut 101 - The Perfect Alcohol Alternative?

Phenibut (also known Anvifen) is, for all intents and purposes, the exact opposite of a stimulant. The latter stimulate the central nervous system, whereas Phenibut “suppresses” it and has relaxing, anxiolytic properties. However, Phenibut also has some “stimulating” properties, but not the ones you would expect. Phenibut is a synthetic derivative of GABA, a natural neurotransmitter that stimulates dopamine and serotonin production while also improving sleep quality.

Phenibut is often used in bodybuilding circles as an alternative to alcohol because it can improve mood, cause euphoria and generally provide the same positive effects as alcohol without causing dehydration, hangovers, liver damage, inhibiting protein synthesis or increasing calorie intake.

💊 Metformin: a bodybuilding tool?

Metformin is a popular medication that is commonly prescribed to treat type 2 diabetes and polycistic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). It is derived from galegine, a compound found in a plant known as Galega Officinalis.

This drug works by inhibiting glucose production in the liver and inhibiting the actions of glucagon, a hormone that causes an increase in blood glucose levels.

These properties make Metformin a useful tool for bodybuilders, who can use it to improve their health, lose weight and even extend their lifespan while mitigating the side-effects of many PEDs.

😎 Dapoxetine for premature ejaculation

Dapoxetine is a very, very interesting medication. On paper, it is an SSRI (antidepressant). In practice, it is an incredibly useful sexual enhancer that helps men delay ejaculation so as to not disappoint their partner.

The reason why it isn’t also used as an antidepressant despite belonging to the same class of drugs as other antidepressants is that its half-life is incredibly short (under 2 hours).

This means that it cannot increase serotonin’s action for long enough to have an anti-depressant effect, but it does increase it for long enough to allow one to delay ejaculation (studies have shown that low serotonin levels are linked to premature ejaculation).
