After seeing lots of good reviews here about Jagdish Nikrose, I am going to place my order with him. Would it be appropriate to post my email from him here on prices, his contact info and certification he sent me. I know name and number is okay but I also don’t want to cause issues for him either with too much info…maybe the wrong eyes will see.
I’m stoked I figured out how to even post here
My point is, without this info here I would be lost. This is my first journey into rapamycin initially looking into it for my 11 soon to be 12 year old dog with heart murmurs and why not for him and myself as longevity too. And this info has been a gold mine and given me direction, so I wanted to post his reply email with his info as it might help others like me. I’ll keep ya’ll posted with updates along the way…
Is ‘Maulik’ the cheapest option or is there anyone else that sells rapacan for less than 6/6.5usd per 10 tablets? (and of course shipping is added on to that)
DeStrider, I am just a curious person. Do you mind telling me for what purpose you use Amoxycillin and Doxycycline? Is it the DAV regimen noted in another thread? Or, is it useful with Rapamycin side effects? Thanks.
I read those threads before ordering but to be honest, I didn’t think the evidence presented against using Siroboon was very robust. In fact the opening post in this thread shows very good numbers:
If someone can point me to a case where some person has:
Tested repeatedly with a different brand and seen the expected blood concentration consistently.
Also tested repeatedly with an equal amount of Siroboon and seen much lower than expected blood concentration.
then I would be inclined to reexamine the case. I may have missed it but I don’t believe anyone has presented such evidence.
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. My approach is to stick to known brands with a long track record, tests by multiple users (I have done blood tests myself), and brands that have marketed rapamycin/sirolimus in the USA (ex. Zydus). Meanwhile a brand that is not from a well established manufacturer represents a risk. Taking calculated risks is part of life and I certainly take risks in buying products. If my washing machine breaks because I took a chance on a replacement part from a dodgy supplier, well, I’ll buy another washing machine. But when it comes to my only body (no replacement models available at the moment), I’m a coward and a free spender. I will minimize risks as far as I possibly can, and be happy to spend extra to minimize that risk. I would not even think of saving - what, $50-$100 - to take a chance on an unknown manufacturer of medication in the country of India (or anywhere else). In fact, I’d be deliriously happy to spend 10 times as much just to be assured of high quality of the medication I put in my one and only body. I’ve read too much about quality problems in drug manufacturing in India. If there is an option - sometimes there isn’t - I always buy the original brand rather than a generic in India, even though it’s far more expensive. I figure I can’t take the saved money with me once I’m dead, so I spare no expense when it comes to my health. But that’s me.
I totally respect any approach anyone takes when it comes to their health - after all, we each have to live with the consequences of our own choices, so my approach is only applicable to me. But I like to share my experiences and thoughts and am interested in the experiences and perspectives of others - it’s why we’re all on this site! I wish everyone nothing but the best with whatever medication they pick. We all get to listen to each other, but in the end to each their own.
I haven’t tested my blood for rapamycin levels, but I have got the effects of rapamycin appearing in the blood levels. Hence I am comfortable that the brands I use (Zydus and Biocon) which are thought by others to be reliable are doing the job.
So Siroboon, for me, produced a peak of about 20-25% the peaks of Rapacan. This looks kind of similar to the results of the trial where compounded sirolimus was used, and they found unexpectedly decreased efficacy. Coating issues perhaps?
It’s true that somebody reported results similar to Rapacan when using Siroboon. Maybe many of us just got a bad batch? At the time I did these tests, it was $65 a pop, not inspired to keep checking.
I do hope you do your own repeated tests and report back the results.
Thought I’d share my experience with Maulik. I have purchased from him several times. Always delivers as asked and with minimal fuss. Provides tracking details and discretely packages everything. I have a Prescription for my items, so he prints the prescription out and includes it within my package (speeds processing when it’s opened by Customs).
Prices are:
Rapacan 1 mg - 150 tablets - 90$
Bemdac 180 mg - 90 tablets - 32$
Shipping to NZ - 25$
Card fee - 15
Total - 162$ USD
He’s recently stopped accepting Wise payments, so I now pay via a Credit Card facility he has.
Has anyone ordered from BGPharma recently? I placed an order June 13 and I still have not heard back. I emailed him to ask about details for the bank transfer twice but no response.
UPDATE: so the package from Jagdish sent in April, which was incorrectly classified by USPS as “incomplete address”, seems to have been lost. Mid June, I contacted Jagdish, and he has not received the package back - the USPS website still shows it as stuck in Indian Customs since April 23, no change of status. Jagdish offered to send me the same meds again, AT NO COST, I just covered shipping ($35).
He sent the new package June 17. Today, June 28 I received it. Exactly what I ordered.
Excellent all around service from Jagdish. That is why I continue to be a customer. Is he the very lowest rock bottom price? No. But customer service and reliability is super important. Fast, responsive, accountable, reliable. I’ll keep buying from him.
Meanwhile, I have stopped buying from Safe Overseas (whom I mentioned before as one of the vendors I buy from). Too many problems. I’m not going to go into the details, but I found this not to be a good vendor. YMMV.
Currently I’m waiting for a package from Forveda, which is making its way through the USPS system.
Thanks for sharing this. The only reason I don’t order from him is because he does not have everything I need. I may order only rapa from him, though, since I’m thinking about ordering from bgpharmadrugs.to and their rapa price is too high. If only Jagdish offered more products!
