Is anyone here in the UK taking rapamycin for longevity - if so how did you get it?

Please could you share his email with me? Thanks!

The friend who prescribed me rapamycin also has a UK license. I could ask if he is willing to prescribe, though he said he was in the process of registering in the UK and preferably didn’t want to prescribe weird off label drugs until he got his re-registration

It would certainly be great if he could!

Did you get a response from Adam? I had a conversation with him a little over a month ago and he’s gone silent since despite some follow up attempts on my part. My view is it’s a lost cause as I really dislike having to chase any service provider excessively, particularly when they come with a not insignificant price tag

I have seen him active on Twitter. Maybe try contacting him there

I got Rapamycin from India. I paid £85 for a 100 Bicon tablets. It took about 8 business days to receive it. I found it all went smooth. They sent a sample of high content vit D3 also

Hi Brian, can I ask what website you ordered this from? That seems like a great price.

Has anyone managed to get rapamycin cream here in the UK? If so, how? Thank you

The cream in the U.K.? You mean from a U.K. provider as opposed to a foreign (read Indian in most cases) supplier?

Sorry, I mean I’m in the UK and wondering where I can buy rapamycin cream without a prescription.

I am in the UK. I get my Rapamycin from India. I don’t know where you can get cream from, but you can mix topical versions if you start with the Rapamycin from India.

I’ve seen only a few places in the US that sell it. Your best bet is likely to just make it yourself - its pretty easy. See here: DIY Rapamycin skin cream

I would not say that making it like shown on that site is “pretty easy”, with 5 items to be bought via Amazon plus some strange substance called transcutol from wherever. And several producton steps.
Surely there is an existing skin lotion that I can just mix with some powdered sirolimus tablets? A five minute job… Any suggestions?
Thanks, Chris Reynolds

He doesn’t seem very keen on rapa now.

I don’t take it that way. I tend to agree with him, if you are already doing Caloric restriction at a high level, rapamycin is unlikely to do that much more for you. There is a lot of overlap of rapamycin and caloric restriction (though not 100% by any means).

I think only a small percent of the population would actually do caloric restriction at 30% to 40% calorie restriction level (and do this long term) that is necessary to really practice it (its hard, and not fun…and you’re cold all the time, your testosterone goes down dramatically, and you lose a lot of body fat which may make you look older than you are).

I see rapamycin as being ideal for the 99% of the world who doesn’t want to do hard core caloric restriction and get very close to the same benefits, if not more (especially when combined with acarbose).

I don’t know if Bryan Johnson’s results are due to his caloric restriction/exercise or the rapamycin but I suspect you’d get pretty close to the same result if you did rapamycin/exercis or caloric restriction/exercise. But one approach (rapa/exercise) is about 100X easier to accomplish.

And Adam is still prescribing rapamycin; its not like he’s saying don’t take it.

I purchase it from India. Have a reliable supplier now and no issues at Customs.

Hi,
Can I ask who your supplier is and how much did it cost?

See this thread Buy Rapamycin Online - List of Reliable Pharmacies

I’ve bought Rapamycin from India to the UK several times. Buying Rapamycin in bulk saves money because the pharmaceutical distributor gives good discounts. If you want, I can give you the contact details of the pharmaceutical distributor from whom I am purchasing Rapamycin since last year.
