My first month on weekly rapamycin + collagen + elastin – how did it feel?

Tbh i started a 4‑mg weekly dose of rapamycin last month after reading that low‑dose pulsed protocol folks swear by, and coupled it with a daily 10‑g collagen shake and a 2‑g elastin peptide supplement to keep my skin feeling firm. I’ve been on it for 30 days now and here’s what i notice: the good stuff – my skin has a smoother feel, the fine lines around my eyes look a touch less pronounced, i feel less tired after long coding sessions, and my gut seems quieter, no more that post‑meal bloatedness i used to get. The not‑so‑great side – had a mild dry mouth first week, but that’s gone; i’ve kept my applesauce for a quick fix.
I didn’t notice any major lipidaemic shift or wound‑healing delays, which is a relief. Overall, the combo seems to lift my energy and give my skin a subtle resilience boost; i’ll keep looping at 4 mg a week and tweak the peptides if any irritation pops up.

- greg208: Not gonna lie I’m on the same 4‑mg weekly rapamycin routine and a 10‑g collagen shake, though I add 1‑g elastin instead of 2‑g. I’ve noticed the same smooth‑skin lift, the fine lines around the eyes even a bit less, and the post‑meal bloating disappears. The dry mouth showed up in my first week pvc, but applesauce helped. I haven’t seen any wound‑healing hiccups or lipid swing. Have you tried tweaking the collagen ratio or adding vitamin C to maximise the skin benefit?
