Metformin is a biguanide that reduces the production and absorption of sugar in the body, facilitating better utilization of existing insulin. Alpha lipoic acid is a naturally occurring fatty acid that provides protective effects for brain and nerve tissue.

How it Works

Common side effects of Metformin and Alpha Lipoic Acid include nausea, taste changes, loss of appetite, diarrhea, stomach pain, vertigo, and dizziness.

Always carry some sugary food or fruit juice with you in case you experience hypoglycemic symptoms, such as:

Cold sweats
