It wasn’t all that long ago, that rapamycin, which activates mTOR, was shunned, because mTOR works against longevity. I’m not sure the new view is any more in tune with reality.

Yup, I follow a bunch of longevity gurus and some mention it. I believe Peter Attia even tried it. Here is another episode where he discusses it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REfhd5k5n0o&ab_channel=PeterAttiaMD

Is it possible that it is the brand? Obviously do what your doctor advises but I am wondering if there was a filler that irritated your stomach. These are all generic so what else is in it changes by company
