What is Glucobay 25mg (ACARBOSE)?
Alpha-glucosidase inhibitor for type 2 diabetes and longevity/anti-aging protocols. Reduces postprandial blood glucose spikes. Studies show potential lifespan extension in animal models.
How it Works
Competitively inhibits intestinal alpha-glucosidases — delays carbohydrate digestion and glucose absorption, blunting postprandial glucose excursion without stimulating insulin.
