so I had a question from someone that

was on metformin because they were a

diabetic and they wanted to know is that

gonna bump me out of ketosis is it gonna

prevent me getting into ketosis

well metformin is used for type 2

diabetes is also used for polycystic

ovarian syndrome and it doesn’t increase

insulin like other diabetic medications

do it basically focuses on the insulin

receptor okay so it targets insulin

resistance it allows the insulin to be

more efficient and to work better in the

body okay so that sounds good

it sounds like a great strategy doctors

say it’s safe you know it’s all the

medications it’s at least damaging then

why do they put a black box warning on

this medication okay I mean in order to

put a black box warning there has to be

some serious side effects there is small

but fatal lactic acidosis risk okay so

there’s a small risk that you may

develop lactic acidosis and there’s a

complication that you may die but it’s a

small risk so they have to put this

black box warning so what is lactic

acidosis well it’s a condition where you

become hypoxic you you decrease your

oxygen absorption to the cells your pH

becomes more acidic in the blood you get

tired electrical problems with the heart

like an electrolytes you can have heart

arrhythmias abdominal pain and this side

effect of death if you’re a diabetic and

you’re taking metformin or you know

someone that’s taking metformin this is

what you need to know right here severe

lactic acidosis can be reversed by

thiamine that’s vitamin b1 within 24

hours I’ll put the data down below you

can check it out it’s a very simple

solution to a very major problem okay b1

you also need to know this metformin

inhibits be warned transportation so

basically it blocks b1

the more you take metformin the more you

depleted with b1 the more you’re

deficient the more you’re gonna have

lactic acidosis it’s kind of crazy so

you need to know that like if you’re

taking that form and you want to take it

you better be taking b1 the ideal scene

is to just do healthy keto and then I’m

gonna fasting to the point where you

don’t need this anymore now the other

interesting thing is this there’s

certain contraindications for taking

that form in the first place if you have

kidney damage or liver damage or

cardiovascular damage they don’t want

you to take that form in because it will

increase the risk of eating a lot again

so dosis now if someone’s taking that

form in there probably a diabetic right

as a diabetic they probably have some

kidney liver and heart problems don’t

they so I guess you have to be pretty

healthy to take neck Foreman nowadays to

prevent this risk again it’s very very

simple take vitamin b1 and you can

actually greatly reduce the risk of

lactic acidosis thanks for watching
