Acarbose has been featured in a number of human longevity articles and podcasts recently, for very good reason.  Here’s the exciting part: acarbose is one of only a HANDFUL of drugs PROVEN to extend lifespan in the NIA ITP studies. In fact, it works SYNERGISTICALLY with rapamycin, extending lifespan in the study groups by up to 14% MORE than rapamycin alone.  This benefit is more prominent in males than in females.

Acarbose has also been proven to reduce blood sugar, inflammation, body weight, arthritic pain, and help reduce cancer risk.

How does acarbose benefit longevity?  Current science suggests that it works to reduce blood sugar levels after meals by altering the gut microbiome.  This is critical, since high blood sugar levels not only sets the table for diabetes but have been proven to increase cancer risk.

Acarbose is a drug widely used in human medicine to help reduce blood sugar levels, and it’s just as useful in dealing with dog blood sugar levels. It has many additional benefits to improving overall health, too. What is much more interesting is that it is one of the very few drugs actually proven to increase longevity in clinical studies. Combining rapamycin and acarbose increases longevity by an even greater amount.

FAQs about acarbose 25 mg for dogs

Acarbose is very safe for dogs when used at the dose prescribed by your veterinarian or by Dr. Kevin during a concierge consult. As your pet is adjusting to acarbose, you may see loose stool or smell the dreaded dog farts because it essentially keeps sugar in the intestine rather than letting it be absorbed. Sugar ferments to gas and sucks water into the gut—enough said. This effect almost always disappears as your pet’s intestines adapt to acarbose.

Acarbose is a prescription drug most commonly used in diabetes control, both in humans and pets. As more studies have come out, we’ve learned it's also a longevity drug because of its numerous health benefits.

No, acarbose is a prescription drug. We cannot ship it to you without either your local veterinarian’s prescription or your signing up for a concierge consult with Dr. Kevin.

Acarbose is a very safe drug for humans and pets. However, as detailed above about its safety, it may cause temporary loose stools and gas as your pet’s intestines get used to acarbose.

She started rapamycin February 7th. Started arcabose February 14th. February 5th and 6th i did not think she'd survive the night. She seem to have more energy and spark to her. Constantly hungry and thirsty and begs for treats non stop. We are hopeful this helps. So far so good, just too early to know if it's helping.
