Would not encapsulation just require a gelatin capsule containing
gastro-resistant enteric-coated pellets with the rapamycin within these? This
would not add any significant cost to the medication as its a standard delivery
mechanism for a variety of current pharma.

The problem being is that it is:
a) a powerful immuno-suppressant
b) is unstable in the stomach unless it goes through a rather complex
encapsulation procedure.

So at best it needs to be modified.
It also seems to operate on the same pathways as resveratrol, unless
I'm reading it wrong.
The best bet still seems to be either taking resveratrol *now* or
waiting for the Sirtis drugs to appear.
Still, another "proof of principle", and an extra decade of healthy
life at 60 is quite substantial
