Abstract: The present invention discloses a system and method for increasing the lifespan and quality of life of human beings and other mammals. This discloses methods for preparing and delivering various health and longevity compositions. The compositions of the present invention are selected and designed for the purpose of efficiently delivering health and longevity enhancing therapies through oral supplementation, misting, nasal spray, suppository, etc. An existing compound known to have capacity for life extending potential, rapamycin, is combined with a non-toxic therapeutic anabolic hormone, e.g., DHEA, and cannabidiol (CBD) to enable absorption and effect. These three compounds work together to dramatically improve both the quality of life in aging humans and other mammals as well as extending the life of humans potentially up to 120 healthy years. One preferred embodiment provides a method for continuous low dose supplementation, e.g., incorporated in or with a daily meal.
