What is Rapamycin?
Rapamycin (Sirolimus) is an mTOR inhibitor traditionally used as an immunosuppressant in transplant medicine. In recent years, it has gained growing interest in the field of longevity and anti-aging medicine due to its ability to modulate cellular aging, inflammation, and metabolic health. When dosed intermittently and at low levels, Rapamycin may help extend lifespan, delay age-related disease onset, and support health span without the immune suppression associated with high-dose use.
Benefits:
- May extend lifespan and delay age-related disease
- Supports cellular autophagy and DNA repair
- Reduces chronic inflammation (“inflammaging”)
- Improves metabolic health and insulin sensitivity
- Works synergistically with fasting, exercise, and AMPK activators (e.g., Metformin)
