Magnesium and Rapamycin in Long Covid and Longevity: Mechanistic (Part A) and Therapeutic (Part B) Proposals
2026-08-03
Abstract excerpt
A global shortfall in magnesium (Mg) is linked to long Covid and a shortened lifespan. The mTOR (mammalian or mechanistic target of rapamycin)/AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) ratio increases with age and these kinases are inversely related. A balanced mTOR:AMPK ratio, promoted by rapamycin (RAP), is linked to healthy aging. mTOR is anabolic and AMPK is catabolic. Mg and RAP are synergistic collaborators in sup...
