Enteric coating does not matter for bioavailability, it’s solubility with e.g suspension in nanocrystals. So enteric capsules don’t work.

The 2.5 hrs checks very well with me, but I get a lot more than 3ng/l from 1 mg. This was taken at 14 mg of standard Rapamune solution from Pfizer, no GF or other inhibitor

Rapamycin is being researched more extensively in China these days, as the country has fewer bureaucratic hurdles for new experimental treatments. I expect China will have more medical breakthroughs than we simply because they have much less hesitation in all sorts of experimentation. And AI certainly will aid them in that, too.
There is a database from China that I occasionally browse through. Some of you may be interested in mining your own info here. Search-CNKI

The problem is that many Chinese studies are falsified. The rate is 50%. So you can never take a Chinese study at face value. You need multiple sources to confirm results.
With a 50% rate of falsified studies, how can you trust any scientific results out of China without confirmation from a Western or other reliable source.

The hard part is finding which studies to believe or not. Not all research out of China is bad, but the bad research makes it hard to find the good research. I’ve been burned a couple of times buying supplements (ex. grape seed extract) that was based on fraudulent research before I learned about how bad Chinese papers are.
