I haven’t done a blood test before taking the pills. So no quantitative comparison can be made, just some subjective feelings.

Week1: Sep/13/2022, 4mg/wk, rapa source: “Healthspan”, 1mg pill x 4, just took down the pill several minutes ago, and no instant effect can be observed.

DeStrider · 2022-09-14T03:24:12.881Z

That’s probably a good thing, as any instant effect would probably be a negative one! Let us know if you experience any fatigue/euphoria, nausea, rashes, canker sores, etc…

And, good luck on your Rapa journey. We are all here with you.

Thanks! I’ll do a regular weekly summary. If there’s anything I can perceive, I’ll also log them. May take a blood test some time next month.

It will be super interesting to follow! Thanks for sharing. What brand and manufacture of rapamycin do you use?

25 seems awfully young to be starting? I’m inclined to agree with @desertshores that the younger the patient the less noticeable the effects will be.

Hi, I currently live in the US. There’s a website called “Healthspan” that provides Rapa. It seems to be one of the easiest ways to get Rapa in the US.

What brand of Rapa do they provide at Healthspan? Rapammune?

QuantumFlow · 2022-09-14T12:54:16.697Z

Yes, I checked the brand name again. It’s rapamune.

Hi looking forward to following your journey.

I’m born in 1995 (27) nice to see some one else in their 20’s looking after their health as well. I’m starting 4mg in a few days. Started 1 mg last week. No side effects as of yet.

Jensen_Achilles · 2022-09-14T13:29:08.043Z

I agree, if you’re young you won’t see much effects but in my opinion starting young is about preventing/slowing aging. So only time will tell.

QuantumFlow · 2022-09-15T16:21:43.868Z

No side effect observed as of yet.

QuantumFlow · 2022-09-21T01:29:29.660Z

Sep/20/2022: second dose, 4mg, cannot feel any difference. No side effect observed last week.

QuantumFlow · 2022-09-24T15:49:58.413Z

One small pimple was observed today.
I might stop using Rapa and switch to Metformin for minor side effects.

QuantumFlow · 2022-09-28T18:57:13.950Z

28/Sep/2022 4mg, No further side effect observed.

QuantumFlow · 2022-09-30T03:59:20.348Z

29/Sep/2022: mouth sore, 4mg/wk seems a little high for me.

RapAdmin · 2022-09-30T04:45:59.638Z

It may be at this time, but perhaps not in the future. I had a mouth sore at somewhere around 5mg/week. Just once. I backed off a mg, for a few weeks, then restarted testing higher dosing. Never had a mouth sore again, and went all the way up to 28mg in one dose (just testing higher dosing).

John_Hemming · 2022-09-30T10:06:37.320Z

As you know I think the reason for the sores and spots is that with more ROS in the cytosol individual cells have a greater ability to fight invading cells. My view (from experience with a similar approach) is that gradually the body clears out invaders so the likelihood of sores becomes less over time. This, however, is an unproven hypothesis.

Oct/06/2022 Given up using rapa.
