Yes, I completely agree. I looked at their prices on rapamycin and decided they were too expensive for me personally despite my good experience with them over the years. I do think they would be a reliable source though for someone who isn’t concerned about cost.
I am using Pfizers Rapamune for months now ( 8 weeks 7mg/week on and 8 weeks off ).
It casts me $4/per 1mg, but at least I dont worry about purity and bioavailability.
Dunno, I would rather invest more money and be safe then take non tested stuff from India, no offence.
Just my honest opinion.
Personally, I’m not going to spend $4/mg for Rapamune when I can buy an Indian generic for as little as $0.41/mg. The FDA has approved multiple generics. I may do this if rapamycin was the only thing I was taking for health and longevity, but I’m not placing all my hope in one drug. There are multiple other supplements or drugs that have been shown to extend lifespan in rodents.

Is 1.33$ for a pill of Zydus Sirolimus a good price from Jagdish?
I tried to order original Pfizer Rapamune tablets from bgpharmadrugs but they said that they have huge waiting list, at least one month of waiting.
Thanks!
Prices have been going up. $1.33 seems a heck of a lot better than the $10 I was paying for the Pfizer brand. Zydus is probably the best-quality generic Indian brand of Rapamycin. I believe it has 1.1x the amount of Rapamycin as the Pfizer one, but the Pfizer one has a better coating for absorption. In the end, I think they are equivalent.
Thanks! What about the Rapacan / Biocon ?
I’ve received 0.8$ price for 1 mg. This is really cheap comparing to Zydus.
It is worth it to pay more for Zydus? What is your opinion?

There are many people here using Biocon and so far there isn’t a specific reason to believe it isn’t good. Biocon is a major Indian pharma company that sells many approved generics (not rapamycin) in the United States. But Zydus has more credibility in the US market and is used for trials such as the Dog Aging Project, so you can assume a certain amount of vetting by experts.

I was unable to buy Zydus the second time around, so I bought Biocon. I haven’t tried it yet, but it should also be good.

For the past year I have been ordering from https://rapamycin.store/ . delivery time could be better but its packaged well so no customs issues for me anyway.
In the past I did purchase 90 tablets from India and was stopped by customs and was asked for a Rx , I didn’t have one so I lost that shipment. Customs told me that you can import a personal supply of medication of not more than 90 days but you need to have a Rx for the medication and they can ask for it.
I have ordered from rapamycin.store 3 times and are happy with the products. I have used Zydus in the past and was also good.

Was the $160 price including shipping fees, or were the shipping fees additional to that price? I’m assuming it was shipped via Speedpost EMS?
Hi. It was a total of $160. postage included. USPS designated it “first class” but I’m not fully sure as it wasn’t fast–it was misdirected by USPS to regional hubs, back to my city, then back to a regional hub, several times. There is a customs receipt that indicates “India Post.” otherwise, the carrier was “17Track” and the tracking number was working and informative all the way. I paid through wise.com without issue.

We have a new price comparison spreadsheet that lists a bunch of vendors in India that people have had success with (in terms of getting the product they ordered in a reasonable timeframe), and all the prices they charge for common Longevity-oriented medications.
