Participants: Healthy older adults 
Dosage: 1 mg/day of rapamycin for 8 weeks

Older adults taking low-dose rapamycin exhibit a reduction in senescent cells — cells that contribute to age-related diseases and a shorter lifespan.

Clinical Trials

A 167-study analysis reveals that rapamycin prolongs lifespan as effectively as dietary restriction: reducing food intake without entering a state of malnourishment.

Dosage: 42 mg/kg of rapamycin and 1.44 mg/kg of trametinib in food starting at 6 months of age

Latest Research: Two FDA-Approved Drugs Additively Extend Lifespan

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute have unveiled that combining trametinib with rapamycin, drugs used in cancer treatment, extends average lifespan by 29% in female mice and 27% in male mice, respectively.

Combining two cancer treatment drugs, trametinib and rapamycin, extends lifespan by 29% and 27% in middle-aged female and male mice, respectively.

Participants: healthy adults between the ages of 50 and 81
Dosage: 5 mg/week or 10 mg/week of rapamycin

One of the most potent anti-aging compounds rapamycin — an FDA-approved drug that inhibits mTOR — increases the lean body mass of older women while reducing their pain.
