Common questions

What is rapamycin?
Rapamycin, also called sirolimus, is a prescription molecule that inhibits the mTOR pathway. It is studied in longevity research and prescribed off-label for that interest.
What is rapamycin used for?
Medically it is approved in transplant and certain conditions. In longevity protocols it is used off-label for its effect on the mTOR pathway, on a weekly schedule.
What does rapamycin do?
It inhibits mTOR, a central regulator of cell growth and repair, which shifts cells toward maintenance processes like autophagy in research models.

Targets the mTOR pathway

Rapamycin inhibits mTOR, a central regulator of how your cells balance growth and repair.

A weekly protocol

Longevity dosing is low and intermittent, usually once a week, set by your provider rather than taken daily.

At the center of aging research

Rapamycin is the most studied molecule in the field, though most of that evidence is from laboratory models and human longevity trials are still early.

Provider-set and monitored

A US-licensed provider prescribes it off-label and monitors labs such as lipids and blood counts.

About Rapamycin (Sirolimus)

Rapamycin is the molecule at the center of longevity research, because it inhibits mTOR, a pathway that governs how cells balance growth and repair. It is prescribed off-label, typically on a weekly protocol your provider sets. Reviewed by a licensed provider, compounded by a US-licensed pharmacy.

  • Inhibits the mTOR longevity pathway
  • Weekly protocol set by your provider
  • The most-studied molecule in the space
  • Provider-reviewed, real pricing up front

Rapamycin (sirolimus) inhibits the mTOR pathway, which regulates cell growth, metabolism and autophagy. Compounded by a US-licensed pharmacy.

  1. Binds FKBP12

    Rapamycin pairs with a protein called FKBP12 inside your cells.

  2. Inhibits mTORC1

    That pairing blocks mTORC1, a hub that drives cell growth.

  3. Shifts toward repair

    With growth signaling turned down, cells lean toward maintenance and autophagy, their cleanup process.

In laboratory studies this shifts cells from growth toward repair. Whether that translates to longevity in people is still being studied.

What to expect

This is a long-horizon protocol rather than something you feel day to day. Your provider sets the cadence and monitors you over time.

  1. Week 1

    Start your protocol

    Begin the weekly dose your provider sets.

  2. Week 2 to 4

    Watch tolerance

    Note any mouth sores or stomach changes and message your provider.

  3. Week 6 to 8

    Check labs

    Your provider reviews your lipids and blood counts.

  4. Ongoing

    Adjust the dose

    Your provider tunes the protocol to how you respond.

Safety and side effects

Prescribed off-label and not right for everyone. Rapamycin is an immunosuppressant, so it can raise infection risk; avoid live vaccines while on it. It interacts with grapefruit and CYP3A4 medications, which change its levels. Tell your provider about infections and every medication.

Common

  • Mouth sores or canker sores
  • Higher cholesterol or triglycerides
  • Mild nausea or diarrhea
  • Acne-like skin bumps

Less common

  • Slower wound healing
  • Mild swelling in the legs or ankles
  • Changes in blood counts

Seek care

  • Higher risk of infection from immune modulation
  • Lung inflammation, a rare but serious reaction that needs prompt care

Rapamycin interacts with grapefruit and many medicines through the CYP3A4 pathway, so share your full medication list. Your provider monitors lipids and blood counts, and the protocol is paused around surgery or active infection. Live vaccines are avoided while taking it.

Frequently asked questions

Is sirolimus the same as rapamycin?
Yes. Sirolimus is the generic name for rapamycin; they are the same molecule.
