Taking Rapamycin on an empty stomach

Any benefits drawback to taking my Rapamycin on an empty stomach? I’ve been taking my dose at right after dinner. I usually eat OMAD or one meal a day and dinner it is. Also, just wondering if perhaps the MTOR effect is blunted or enhanced based on feeding state? Just curious what everyone thoughts are?

Not really, just that you might be missing a 30 percentage boost in bioavailability if taken with a fatty meal (I take it with sardines, other people here do a shot of olive oil)

Would cooking with butter suffice?

Edit: Thank you on Bioavailability. I did not know this!

I don’t know exactly how much fat is required to increase bioavailability… You may want to review this paper: The Effect of a High-Fat Meal on the Oral Bioavailability of the Immunosuppressant Sirolimus (Rapamycin)
