Mega Rapamycin Study Uncovers Clues to Longevity This research revised 29 studies on rapamycin (Rapa) from varied sources. Researchers wanted to see if there was enough evidence from multiple studies to support Rapa's longevity claims. The results showed that the drug helped mice live longer in trials, especially females. One of the interesting findings was…

Introduction: Dirt Drug Boosts Lifespan 60% in Mice The FDA approved rapamycin, a special compound found in soil, over 20 years ago. The drug's full potential is still unknown, hence the continual research. In this study, middle-aged mice were treated with Rapa for only 3 months (90 days). The treatment groups were 600 days old,…

Study Overview: Rapamycin Extends Life Span The human quest for living longer and staying healthy is as old as the hills. Before scientists can look for solutions, they first need to understand the problem. In this case, that meant knowledge of the aging process. Only then can they develop "potential" treatments that extend lifespan and…
