Trying to Stop Long COVID Before It Even Starts

[Dorian Gray]

8. The metformin piece is interesting to me

I've been on metformin for years. (And i didn't get covid when my daughter and husband had it.) I was curious if that was part of the reason. (I had also gotten lucky with the timing of my previous booster, which was exactly a month before they brought the infection home.)

I know that metformin reduces inflammation, so it seems as though there is a mechanism there that may influence the onset of long covid. I am not a scientist so I can't speak to how that happens.

But I definitely would love to see this further pursued.

There have also been minor studies involving melatonin that look promising. (Another supplement I often take to help me sleep.)
