I'm a month into taking rapa and already I feel like it's having a noticeable effect. I'm curious what others on this threads dosage looks like. If you prefer to keep it private, you can email me directly (my email is on my profile).
I'm currently taking 2mg once a week on my rest day; I started with 1mg and after 1 month added another MG. I'll continue each month until I reach 8MG once a week, which is the dosage the doc I worked with in Texas to get my prescription recommended and most people seem to take.
Also - I would say that NMN + Rapa is a completely life altering combination for anyone 50+. I feel like I can lift harder and longer now than when I was in my 40's and things seem to be getting easier the farther into my rapa routine I get.
Also also - you can find rapamycin online / overseas under its other name - Sirolimus - and the cost is a little lower than getting a proper US prescription.

- Traubenfuchs 4y agoBesides satisfying their altruism they have nothing to gain and everything to lose if this miracle drug causes cancer in 5 years. I read up ok it. It can literally cause cancer.
- SkyMarshal 4y agoWhich one, NMN or Rapa?
- cbozeman 4y agoDepending on where you are, everything can cause cancer. This website is known to the State of California to cause cancer.

- giantg2 4y agoThis is also used as an anti-caking agent in food. Does CA label foods in that manner? Seems like it would cause confusion for the average consumer.

- gadders 4y agoWhat's NMN?
- runnerup 4y agoNicotinamide Mononucleotide, an unregulated supplement. Note also: > We found that, when data from all organisms studied were combined for each compound, aspirin resulted in the highest percent increase in average lifespan (52.01%), followed by minocycline (27.30%), N-acetyl cysteine (17.93%), nordihydroguaiaretic acid (17.65%) and rapamycin (15.66%), in average.[0] Though I'd consider whether flies and worms are good models for your human self. 0: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34687363/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34687363/
- hammock 4y agoIs NMD related to NAD+?
- heymijo 4y agoYes, it is a precursor to NAD
- earleybird 4y agoSee also B3 (niacin aka nocotinic acid) in the Krebs cycle.
- gadders 4y agoThanks!
- yarg 4y ago> Though I'd consider whether flies and worms are good models for your human self. Even other vertebrates don't share the human cancer model, so people are absolutely jumping the gun assuming that this generalises to us. But I'd imagine (and hope) that it's mostly laymen (and quacks in the supplement business) that are pushing the notion that the evidence is in?

- jamesdmiller 4y agoI have been taking Rapamycin for 19 weeks and NR and Metformin (for anti-aging) for much longer and I can't see any difference. I'm 50+. I generally, however, feel excellent, as well as I remember when I was younger so long as I have gotten lots of sleep and don't have a cold. When I'm sick or tired I feel much worse than I did, however.
