"Exploring the Potential of an FDA-Approved Pill to Slow Down Aging"

Social media and some medical professionals claim that rapamycin, an FDA-approved pill used in organ transplants, can slow down aging and increase lifespan based on studies in mice. However, there is ongoing debate and uncertainty about its effectiveness in humans, as large-scale clinical trials are lacking. While rapamycin has shown potential benefits in inhibiting aging-related health issues, it is not approved for longevity and has significant side effects. Experts emphasize that it's premature to consider rapamycin as an anti-aging drug and recommend focusing on proven methods such as a healthy diet, exercise, and social connections to promote longevity.
