Daily dosage of Sirolimus?
Is there a reason why all the suggested dosages that I have read indicate taking a dosage of between 3 and 10 mg per week involve taking it all at one time rather then just taking on a daily or every other day basis of say 1mg? Thank you

The half-life of rapamycin for humans is 62 hours. From Dr. Green's website rapamycintherapy.com, "TOR1 is very sensitive to a single dose of rapamycin and TOR2 is very resistant." With a weekly dose of rapamycin, you get a lower trough concentration and suppress mTORC1 without suppressing mTORC2 as much.
