I (the author of the FAQ) now have a bit more of an optimistic conclusion; but yeah I wouldn’t just take metformin if you are healthy. Fwiw what -I- personally do in terms of supplements is just https://labdoor.com/review/whc-unocardio-1000-vitamin-d-1000 . Idk how strong the Vitamin D effect is, but I don’t get much sun in the UK anyway. I think for overall health calorie restriction / intermittent fasting is the best intervention. Perhaps there are other things one can do in addition, but I think most of the value in terms of overall health can be achieved with this one thing.

(I haven’t poked the underlying studies.)
