Hello,
I tried some weeks ago to buy Rapanycin from India.
The problem is that ithe packet was “Hold for customs inspection”
The customes didn´t contact me so just no more news about the packet. .
I have order 1 gram of powder from China and It was cheaper. It arrived Ok. I am planing to buy a UV Spectrophotometer to check if it is rapamycin indeed. I will let you know the results.
Regards and thanks to share your stories. It is helping others.
Yes - its very cheap. But the issue is you have no idea what it is, and equally important what else is in there beside rapamycin (other contaminants). Its not as big an issue if you’re making a topical cream for your skin as the rapamycin (when you use transcutol as a reagent with skin cream), but it is an issue if you are taking it orally.
its a general problem for EU citizens to order pills from outside the EU. The costums will just burn it if there is no agreement about the product. It doesn’t matter if you have a prescription of if you try to buy it as a company. Its just a legal issue.
The only think I can imagine is:
If one can order rapa from within britain and ship it to you from north ireland, you will propably get it.
I received the spectrophotometer I bought to check if the powder I had purchased was rapamycin or something else.
I bought powder from China, 1 gram. The truth is, it’s very cheap, but I thought it could be salt or something else.
I tried to buy the pills in India, and it was money wasted because Customs didn’t even bother to send it back to India. The budget in Europe for me, my wife, and the dogs seemed too high, so I decided to go with the powder.
This is the chart of what I obtained.
It seems to be rapa. The peak is exactrly on the same wave length it must be and the lateral lobules semm the same but there is a diference in the smaller peal in abut 210nm. I askdeed the person tha sold me the product and told me that “it is an Isomer”. Well It can be ok. I have marked on the graphn in green what seems to be ok and in red what is different.
Any way even though I think this is real Rapa, I will use reall pills and will use pink grapefruit with 1 or 2 mg of Rapa in orther to avoid problems. With this volume of Rapamune The budget is not that big.
Regards
