Metformin helps your body process sugar more efficiently, which supports balanced energy and metabolic health. By reducing blood sugar spikes and improving insulin sensitivity, some patients find it easier to maintain a leaner, less bloated look over time.

It’s not a stimulant or a quick-fix weight loss drug. Instead, metformin supports the behind-the-scenes systems that influence weight, energy, and how your body responds to food.

Results are gradual and vary by individual. A prescription and medical evaluation are required.

Metformin helps the body use insulin more efficiently and reduces excess sugar production in the liver. This may support:

• Improved metabolic balance
  
• Fewer blood sugar spikes and crashes
  
• Reduced cravings for some patients
  
• Easier consistency with healthy habits
  

Metformin works best when combined with nutrition, movement, and sleep.
