native, moderated, evidence-firstPEARL trial (the first peer-reviewed RCT of intermittent rapamycin in healthy adults) found mixed results: some lean-mass and pain-improvement signals at 10mg/wk, no major safety signals at 48 weeks. Effect size was modest. We do NOT have evidence it extends human lifespan.
CJC-1295 and ipamorelin are growth-hormone-releasing peptides studied mostly in short-term healthy adult trials. They raise GH/IGF-1 transiently. Body recomp claims often outpace the evidence. Side effects to watch: insulin resistance over time, water retention. Long-term cancer-risk signal is theoretical but takes large datasets to rule out.
