General information

Metformin glycinate is a metformine derivate, which has improved pharmacokinetic properties, allowing it to effectively reduce high blood sugar levels without causing an increase in negative side effects. Metformin glycinate may have advantages over metformin in terms of itsbioavailability, absorption, and safety. Clinical studies have also shown that metform in glycinate treatment can result in a reduction in viral load for patients with SARS-CoV-2 infections.
