Can I log additional conditions with my sample?

Yes, our optional form allows you to log various conditions such as grapefruit juice intake, dosage, and more to help you find your optimal Rapamycin dosage, timing, and conditions over time.

When should I test my Rapamycin levels?

We recommend testing your Rapamycin levels at specific times to accurately monitor your dosage and effectiveness. If you are experimenting with grapefruit juice or other methods to increase bioavailability, test at the t max (typically around 2 hours after ingestion) and then again 7 days or a few days later to check the half-life. It's important to do this a few times, especially when changing your regimen, and periodically to ensure consistency and safety.

What is the recommended testing schedule?

For optimal monitoring, we recommend the following testing schedule:

• Initial test at t max (about 2 hours post-ingestion) to measure peak plasma levels.
• Follow-up test 7 days later or a few days after to assess the half-life and residual levels.
• Additional tests whenever you change your dosage or intake methods.
• Periodic tests every few months to ensure ongoing effectiveness and safety.
