My interest in Rapamycin started several years ago- mostly from reading/listening to Peter Attia. I made a couple of attempts to buy and/or get a prescription but didn’t try very hard.

Two years ago I started taking Metformin. I got my prescription online from AgelessRX, paying them $25 per month. I stopped a few months ago as there seems to be some question of efficacy for longevity. I also think AgelessRX is charging too much (the pills are cheap!).

So, I decided to start Rapamycin. AgelessRX had recently started offering it- $150 per month (three month min), starting at 2mg (weekly) for the first month and titrating up to 6mg in month three. I just finished my first month. The price does include a quarterly blood test (LDL-C,Triglycerides,Total Cholesterol,WBC,HbA1c,Creatinine,ALT,Glucose,RBC,Hemoglobin)

I read quite a bit about Rapamycin in the weeks before I started, including the forums on this site. I read on one of the posts that someone had ordered from India pills @ .60 each. I don’t exactly remember from where I got Maulik’s name/company (hopefully, rapamycin will help the forgetfullness??)

Here is my timeline:
Aug 3 - Used IndiaMart messaging to contact Vallabh Enterprise/Shreeji Impex
Maulik responded in just a few minutes with a quote.
Aug 6 - wired $225 to HDFC Bank in India
$180 - 300 1mg Biocon Sirolimus (Rapacan) @ .60 per tablet
$20 - 100 5mg Minoxidil (article in NYT about low-dose Minoxidil)
$25 - shipping

Aug 9 - Payment received by seller
Aug 10 - Received Tracking number

Hitch - welcome to the site, and thanks for posting such a detailed and informative outline of your experience to date. I hope you’ll continue to post as you progress on your adventure with rapamycin.

I have to laugh at the photos of the large canister of medications… as anyone who’s been trying out these medications and buying from foreign sources knows, they pile up quickly because you want to buy a reasonable quantity so you don’t need to purchase too often. The only downside is that you have a huge box of medications that make you look like you’re planning to start a pharmacy business soon :wink: Ah, but a small price to pay I suppose.

Please update us on your rapamycin journey over the coming months!

An update on my order with RL Pharma / NIBA Healthcare:

After 2 weeks of multiple WhatsApp and email inquiries went unanswered, I told Jagdish I’ll be reporting this to the authorities if I don’t hear back. Jagdish suddenly responded, claiming that he never received the wire. I asked Schwab, my bank, to put a trace on the wire. Schwab provided a Fed reference confirmation # and a SWIFT MT103 code confirming that the wire was received by the recipient bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank. I provided the tracking information to Jagdish. Jagdish maintains that he has not received the wire.

At this point I don’t see any recourse for getting RL Pharma / NIBA to make good on my purchase. I am chalking up the $153 paid as an expensive lesson to never do business with RL Pharma / NIBA again.

Prologue:
I reordered the same product from Apple Pharmaceuticals on Mon and sent funds by wire via Schwab. By Tues, Apple has already sent me a tracking number for the shipment.

Hi I may be posting in wrong spot, but getting ready to catch a plane to guadalajara outta TJ. I got a quote of $415 for 60 1 mg dosages of rapamune…in Guad, sounds pretty hight to me from what i have read here, but thought id ask first. pls advise thnks BB

I would like to add my recent experience with Kachhela Medex of India sending meds to UK. I asked for a quote by email to Anil Gangwani kmpl1015@gmail.com. He replied in around 24 hours with the following quote which I thought was excellent:

600 Acarbose 50mg $ 60 USD

200 Ezetimibe 10mg $ 20 USD

200 Colchicine 0.5mg $ 10 USD

Shipping charges $ 30 USD

Total $ 120 USD

I paid him successfully via Wise as he requested and within 24 hours he gave me an IndiaPost tracking number. This never really updated after an entry saying bagged at Mumbai Airport, however after just over one week my package was safely delivered to my home by the Royal Mail. It was very well packaged and I would have no hesitation in using their services again.

Thats almost $7 per mg, yes - thats a very high price. You can get it for about half that price from Bulgaria: Rapamune Sirolimus 1 mg * 10 Pfizer – BG pharmaceuticals

Or around $1/mg from India for a generic.

or $2/mg for generic from CostplusDrugs (with prescription): Medications Details | Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company

thank you I thought it sounded outlandish.

Another new India pharmacy… they say they accept Wise, and even Zelle payments. Prices are listed on the site in US dollars, and vary by purchase volume. I’ve got no experience with them, but they seem legit (from people on other forums I know). I get the feeling that if you have other low price offers from other vendors that the prices might be variable (as they are with almost all the Indian pharmacies… )

@denny i wanted to add to this discussion that I had a positive experience in placing an order with Jagdish this last week. I have not received my order yet but I did get a tracking number after my payment was received. The only hassle I had was waiting for wise to confirm my bank info, and then the strange delays in payments arriving from each source. Assuming the package arrives, I would not hesitate to use Jagdish again. The bank info I was told to use was the same as you were told to use.

Congratulations!

Do you live in the US? If that’s the case, you might be able to bargain down the shipping cost next time. For my shipments, the actual postage paid for shipping by Indiapost/EMS to San Diego is about the equivalent of $25USD. If you still have the packaging, check the shipping label.

Can you provide a sales person contact info at holystics Medicure?

No - someone posted the site in the Facebook Rapamycin group and said they shipped quickly at a reasonable price, so I added it to the list here. I have no experience with the group.
