We found a new way to make mice live 30% longer! 🧪 #aging #longevity #rapamycin

A combination of classic longevity drug rapamycin with cancer drug trametinib was more effective than either on its own.

For what it’s worth, I have both Long Covid and pre-Covid ME and feel I’ve seen noticeable benefit from rapamycin (I’m in Simmaron’s ME trial of it).
We’re truly excited that the PolyBio supported Low-dose Rapamycin trial is now recruiting in the NYC area.

A cheap drug used by longevity enthusiasts may have a surprising impact [read: HARM] on exercise wapo.st/4cYnIY3

Those taking rapamycin gained LESS strength & physical function.

"They also developed more aches, fatigue and, in one case, a serious infection."

Sum: Don't take "rapamycin off-label."
A cheap drug used by longevity enthusiasts may have a surprising impact on exercise
Researchers anticipated rapamycin would enhance the effects of working out, while also initiating health improvements of its own, but that wasn’t the case.
