Originally formulated as an immunosuppressant to prevent organ transplant rejection, Rapamycin has become a popular anti-aging medicine. It is a mTOR inhibitor which has shown to protect against age-related disease and promote longevity.
Several animal studies have reported life-extending effects of low doses of Rapamycin in yeast, Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies), mice and dogs. It has also been used to prevent kidney rejection in transplant patients and to treat hepatitis C infections in HIV-infected individuals.
It is a lipophilic macrocyclic lactone which was first isolated in 1972 from the soil of Easter Island and named as rapamycin. It was later found that it was an immunosuppressant which inhibited the activity of T cells.
The drug is used to increase immunity in old people and reduces senescent cells which are the main cause of aging. When senescent cells are removed, the body is put into a state of repair which renews the cells that it can and gets rid of those that it cannot.
A recent study has also reported a link between senescent cells and cancer. It has been hypothesized that senescent cells can act as a “kick start” for tumour formation and it has been suggested that the removal of senescent cells could slow the growth of cancer.
In order to make it work, rapamycin has to trick the mTOR signalling pathway into thinking that the body is in a state of calorie deprivation. This causes the body to shift into a repair mode where it consumes and replaces the oldest, weakest cell parts which are known to be the culprits of aging and cancer.
This is achieved by blocking mTOR which is the pathway that controls many aspects of cell growth and metabolism, including energy production and cellular repair and repair of the immune system. When mTOR is blocked it can cause the body to think that it is in a state of calorie restriction, a phenomenon known as “starvation” which has been linked with longer lifespans and improved health.
It is important to note that rapamycin can be toxic at high doses and can have serious side-effects including confusion, hallucinations, seizure, severe nausea, vomiting, bloody stools, coughing up blood, fever and swelling. For this reason it should only be prescribed to people who are over middle aged.

Dosage: For anti-aging use, take the medication in a small amount of water or juice with food, every day, for a few weeks. It can take up to a month for your body to adjust to the change in dosage, so it is recommended that you start off with a small dose and slowly increase over a few weeks.
