Metformin XR reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity in muscle tissue, keeping blood sugar steadier through the day. It activates AMPK, an energy sensor that supports fat oxidation and mitochondrial function, and is studied for its role in metabolic and longevity care.
