Rapamycin and Iron Ranges – Rapamycin Longevity Information

The podcast was good. Magnesium is clearly important. Ditto for dumping iron. I’m extra satisfied about copper .

Why copper solely 3 days every week?

To be sincere I’m nonetheless studying/researching about copper. I’ll enhance dose as my understanding of iron metabolism improves. Like several metabolic system its extremely complicated.

My serum copper is in a very good vary (by labcorp ranges) however I’m contemplating taking the “full monty” panel to get the total image. For those who scroll down a bit on this web site it describes that panel together with their proposed optimum ranges: “Excellent” Values for Lab Assessments – The Root Trigger Protocol

I like to grasp and due to this fact analysis how metabolic programs work as a way to kind an opinion about which medical recommendation (or requirements) to consider. I consider numerous commonplace medical care is unsuitable or antiquated or revenue pushed. Nevertheless, lots is correct. Similar is true for practical drugs, or integrative drugs. My purpose is to wade by way of the firehose of knowledge and kind an opinion for myself.

This put up is good! I’m finding out iron metabolism which is de facto complicated. This put up was very useful, thanks!!!

An excessive amount of copper is poisonous.
Actually you wouldn’t need greater than 10mg per day.
Additionally every mg of copper ought to be balanced with 10mg of zinc.

My ferritin ranges dumped after rapamycin.

I’ll examine different potential causes, however bearing in mind that I’m feeling very properly and that it was quick, I are likely to assume it may be rapa.

Primarily based on this examine some would say hair checks are unreliable. I believe the examine says they’re fairly constant.

I spend 1000’s of {dollars} on soil checks for my farms they usually inform me one thing. I as soon as noticed a chat from the ISU extension soil scientist who talked all about splitting checks and sending them to the identical lab or to totally different labs and the totally different outcomes. Additionally he would pattern the soil, then flip round and pattern once more. Totally different outcomes. Nonetheless, he thinks they inform you one thing goal concerning the soil and the outcomes, whereas not actual and repeatable are someplace within the ball park. And I believe they’re higher than nothing. Nothing is what you’ve got for those who don’t give it a strive.

After I received my hair check Uranium was means excessive and ditto with Zirconium. I puzzled about it and frolicked on the web and came upon these outcomes come from having a Radon drawback. Purchased a check and certain sufficient ranges have been fairly excessive. Raised 5 children right here and lived right here 40 years.

My sodium was means excessive as a result of I like salt, and potassium was fairly low. I received away from chips round then and began utilizing potassium salt on meals.

Folks scoff concerning the hair check. We have now a pair docs within the household (in legal guidelines) they usually shake their heads, however I believe that is helpful stuff for $100.

Additionally my brother’s doc despatched a cut up pattern of his blood (for hba1c) to 2 totally different labs and received 4.8 at one and 5.5 on the different. My brother was steaming. Lol. I don’t assume it means you cease testing, however now I see how Theranos received by with it for thus lengthy.

I learn that copper and zinc use the identical channel for uptake in order that they compete. I don’t need them to compete so I simply take copper 3 days every week and zinc for the opposite 4. I used to be utilizing 50 mg zinc and 2mg copper chelate. Have no idea whether or not that is good and even is smart however is healthier than nothing. I’m considering now that I ought to be utilizing greater numbers for each.

If rapamycin chelates iron, that wouldn’t obligatory be a foul factor. Decrease ranges of iron are related to diminished incidence of coronary heart illness and most cancers. Invoice Sardi wrote of his perception that over mineralization contributed to growing older.

It’s not chelation, see put up up on this thread. It’s a dysregulation of iron metabolism.

Fully separate from rapamycin, dumping iron is considered one of my essential longevity hacks.

That’s an awesome put up. Thanks for that. So far as my iron stage goes, I sometimes take IP6 to decrease my ranges. Additionally, I’ve not too long ago had 2 docs query me about my low (in comparison with what’s thought of regular) iron. After I defined my purpose to regulate iron, neither one continued that line of questioning.

What are your Iron ranges in most up-to-date labs vegasallen1?

It’s 21. The vary is 24 to 380.

Right here’s a fast hear with Gordon Lithgow speaking about extra iron and accelerated growing older.
Go to 32:30 within the podcast.

I took genetic testing and was discovered to have an HFE gene and thalassemia trait gene. Italian and Irish dad and mom who each had carried the traits.Since taking Rapa for nearly a yr my share of iron saturation and iron serum are within the regular vary and haven’t needed to have any in-house phlebotomy’s. I nonetheless have blood markers of thalassemia gene nonetheless the iron overload appears to be at bay for now! Encouraging for me, as well as fatigue and joint ache appeared to subsided!

I want to see proof for this, and for a lot else on this put up.

Is that 21 quantity Ferritin?

Sure, however I’ve slacked off taking IP6 currently. I’d anticipate that the quantity has risen considerably.

So one other query for you. I had a Ferritin variety of 22 my final labs as properly (that’s beneath regular). I don’t eat a lot iron and I donate blood each three months. My PCP felt I ought to get it up some however I don’t have any damaging signs resembling low power, not sleeping properly, and so forth. Simply curious for those who and any damaging results of such a low Ferritin?

No, not any signs and I’ve donated blood too. However Invoice Faloon of Life Extension has instructed me that he suspects that one may be shedding a few of their immune system donating plasma or blood. So he can’t show it however I respect his opinion.
