t-resv frequency, dosage.

Also, any sense of the risk/reward ratio of going beyond 5mg/kg in total for the day?

I'm thinking about actually checking the pharmacodynamics in my own serum; dose with a gram and do blood draws every 15-30 for a couple hours and run them through the mass spec. If I do that I'll post the results.

You're right to think that splitting the dose would be better. Ideally you'd want to slowly consume it all day in quantities that would keep serum levels just at the point required to saturate Sirt activation. We don't really know what that level is, but it's probably in the low tens of micromoles/liter. But the issues relating to the liver that you mention really complicate figuring out dosing.

That would be extremely valuable info!

If you could do this it would be extremely beneficial. If I had the facilities I would definitely give it a try but I don't have access. You would be doing us a valuable service if you could do this, please keep us posted.

I'm definitely up for it in spirit, and I'm really curious to see what the results would be. If I can work out a few technical hurdles I'll give it a go. It'll probably take a few weeks before I'm ready.
