Intro to rapamycin
Hello everyone,
Rapamycin is an mTOR inhibitor. It has been used for years to prevent organ transplant rejection in humans, in part because mTOR inhibition also inhibits the immune system.
mTOR is a pro-growth factor that is involved in cellular growth and protein synthesis. Its inhibition has been associated with longer lifespans in certain organisms (not yet humans).
Rapamycin administration has been shown to extend the remaining lifespan of middle-aged mice, making it an interesting life-extension candidate for use in middle-aged humans.
Has anyone tried rapamycin? What were the results?

Dear all,
Here is a great email to get:

Exciting to me that Lifespan.io is launching a human study on Rapamycin, as a patient of Dr.Green - although I can be only a health tourist in the US and I can't currently use the medicines.
Best regards, Flavio

Been off this site for a while, went down a deep rapamycin rabbit hole. Just recently came out:
