Why does the medication information sheet mention a potential risk of cancer?
- The medical fact sheet primarily lists side effects related to daily dosing for transplant patients. Our intermittent low dosing every 7 days avoids immune suppression. Rapamycin inhibits mTOR, exhibiting anti-cancer properties by preventing cell proliferation and inflammatory conditions conducive to cancer.
Does Healthspan test medications for purity and bioavailability?
- Healthspan prioritizes medication purity and effectiveness. Our rapamycin tablets meet strict U.S. quality standards and are dispensed from an FDA-inspected U.S. pharmacy. We rigorously test formulations to optimize absorption.
How is the Rapamycin protocol dose determined?
- Dosage is dependent on many factors, including weight-based dosing and clinical assessment.
Can I take Rapamycin if I am getting the COVID vaccine or booster?
- Generally, we don’t advise changing your dose, as studies show that rapamycin can boost immunity and may enhance the vaccine’s effect against COVID-19 as shown here for example. However, if you prefer, you can take a break from your protocol during the week of your COVID vaccine.
