Sources for Metformin?
Suggestions?
The best source is via your GP. I have script for Metformin due to an undiscovered elevated glucose (check yours first thing in the morning, people do labs usually hours after they get up and by the time you get dressed and into the lab it usually comes down). Details here.

There's this website. Easy enough to order, reasonably inexpensive, and payment options work.

JGC I have used a credit card in the past to order Metformin from an Indian website. The operation didn't take place through the Visa-secure interface. I just filled a form to be told later by the merchant that the transaction was denied. My card started getting unknown debits of $200 shortly after. I cancelled the card and got all my money back. Paypal would be the only acceptable means of payment, or with a credit card if and only if the payment is made though the Visa application. I will never send cash or anything equivalent.

I notice lot of talk on this site about how to get Metformin. I suggest that if you just take your own primary care doctor some information about the benefits of Metformin, some of them will simply agree to prescribe it for you. Initially I got my Metformin prescription from my dermatologist. I knew that she read Life Extension and admired Bill Faloon, so I asked her if she would prescribe Metformin, and for many years she was happy to do so, even though Metformin is not particularly relevant to dermatology. Now I admit having a dermatologist interested in life extension is just good luck. However, when I lost this source because I left Ca. for NH where I now live, I managed to get a new prescription from my brand new primary care doctor in N.H. First I called the Life Extension advisor line, and asked the advisor to email me a short article explaining the benefits of taking Metformin for a non-diabetic person. I then dropped a copy of the article off at my doctors office a few days before my first appt., with a note asking him to take a look at it before my appt. Then in my appt, we discussed the article. He said he was already aware that many non-diabetics in Europe were taking Metformin, because of the health benefits. I told him I was already taking three 500 mg tablets a day for some years without any side effects, and with very good blood sugar readings, and he agreed to prescribe it. So don't assume you can't get it from your regular doctor if you give them a little information first and explain why you want it. Of course, some doctors will refuse, but others won't., so why not give it a try before resorting to ordering from India and the like. Also, I pay nothing at all for my Metformin, because since it is prescribed by my doctor, it is covered under my Medicare Part D Walgreens prescription drug insurance. (BTW I have been taking three 500 mg tablets a day for a couple of years now, with no side effects. I was taking two 500 mg tablets a day, but then I talked with Bill Faloon at Raadfest 2017, and he suggested that, if possible, I take more Metformin than that, so I started taking 3 a day.)
