Healthspan is defined as an increased lifespan, improved cellular vitality and efficiency, and an improved quality of life.
Healthspan = Extended Lifespan + Maximized Quality of Life
Sirolimus (also known as rapamycin) is considered by many physicians and scientists to be the premier tool for optimizing healthy aging and longevity.
Discovered in the soil of Rapa Nui island, hence the name rapamycin, researchers found that rapamycin exhibited anti-fungal and antibacterial properties. Further, rapamycin is being used to increase lifespan as the “great mTOR inhibitor.”
mTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin) is a fundamental regulator of cellular metabolism, dictating lifespan, aging, and the onset of age-related disease. Without a healthy balance in mTOR, chronic disease and evidence of aging prevail.
Routine mTOR inhibition is important for maintaining autophagy in the body. Sirolimus promotes autophagy, therefore increasing cellular detoxification, putting the brakes on aging.
Sirolimus taken on a daily dosing schedule is indicated as an immunosuppressive agent in transplant recipients, but at a lower...
DetailsMethylene blue, a dye originally used in the textile industry and for its antimalarial benefits, is now an Emergency Department essential used to reverse conditions of methemoglobinemia, but that’s not all. It’s where the term “magic bullet” was coined.
Methylene blue supports the functions of the electron transport chain to maximize mitochondrial respiration as well as ATP cellular energy production. Methylene blue selectively reduces the effects of nitric oxide toxicity and deficits in mitochondrial function, providing antioxidant benefits for the brain and body.

NAD levels decline drastically with age, and NAD+ deficiencies are associated with accelerated signs of aging. NAD+ rejuvenates existing stem cells, improves age-related sleep and digestive disorders and repairs DNA.
