Bro, it's the same juice the Hulk's on, but, like, for your cells—and also, maybe, your pecs. "Swap the pre-workout for some Rapa, man, and soon they'll rename it 'The House of Gains.'"
Imagine a compound that might stretch your lifespan—but also, let us stretch our risk assessment forms. Note: Please consult an entire committee of experts. "I've heard about Rapa, but have you considered the laundry list of potential side effects and the fact we'll need a lifetime of data?"
So it's this chemical that apparently screws with your cellular wiring long enough to maybe give you extra birthdays—assuming your liver doesn't file a formal complaint first. "I’ll take Rapa seriously when someone shows me a double-blind, peer-reviewed study where the control group also lived forever."
