Metformin was originally extracted from French lilacs and has been used as a medication to lower blood glucose for almost 60 years. Over time, metformin has been successfully synthesized in a laboratory and is now commonly used to lower blood glucose for people living with type 2 diabetes.

Favored for its lack of hypoglycemic side effects, metformin is widely recommended as a safe, cost-effective first-line treatment for many conditions, including prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and gestational diabetes. - Cyrus Khambatta, PhD
