Re: rapamycin cream
@Bruce B dissolved 6mg rapa (from capsules) into 10ml of transcutol (stirred x 1 hour in magnetic stirrer per the study), then mixed 5ml into each of two 4-ounce jars of Cerave lotion.…

Re: rapamycin cream
@Bruce B also, what about adding fisetin and giving the cream a potential senescent cell-clearing effect? At least in theory, rapamycin+fisetin should be an amazing one-two punch.

Re: rapamycin cream
Thanks Bruce! I just ordered some transcutol from lotioncrafter.com for $20 for 8 ounces (including tax and priority mail shipping). Right now I'm using a rapamycin lotion I made by extracting 6mg…

Re: Stopping Metformin
@MAC. If DHB also inhibits 3A4 like berberine (I haven't seen any studies, so maybe maybe not?), but if it does, then yes it would increase the AUC and delay clearance by the liver,…

Re: Canagliflozin - A One Month Report, Its Good
@Karl I don't like cipro either (tendon rupture makes me cringe just thinking about it) and Bactrim can also cause nasty allergic reactions as a sulfa drug.…

Re: Dr Green new Rapamycin high dose
Sorry never mind, I searched the forum and found where you posted rapa cream recipe previously. Since I'm hesitant to apply DMSO to my skin and I want the rapa to stay *in* my skin rather than be…

Re: Stopping Metformin

Re: Dr Green new Rapamycin high dose
@Mark Thimineur would you mind sharing the % DMSO in the cream you use? I see a 4 oz cream with 70% DMSO/30% aloe in a cream base available online, for instance. Thanks!

Re: Stopping Metformin
@Brian Valerie I too stopped berberine, given that it in theory should inhibit positive adaptations to exercise just as metformin appears to do. It also has quite a few potential drug interactions,…

Re: Canagliflozin - A One Month Report, Its Good
The side effect I'd be most concerned about from combo SGLT2 inhibitor and rapamycin is bacterial infection, specifically UTI. Dr. Alan Green (rapa guru in NY) just posted an Oct 2021 update saying…

Source of pyridoxamine?

Anybody have a source of pyridoxamine for anti-glycation self-experimentation? It is still sold in Europe as a supplement, but was banned in USA since it's being developed as a drug. Thanks

Re: Weekly rapamycin and protein/resistance training regimen
@Staffan Olsson Interesting, but I wonder if by activating proteins downstream of mTOR, citrulline might also block some of the beneficial effects of rapamycin?
