I saw in your blog that you are starting oral mucomyst. Will you be taking 800mg of mucomyst 3x's a day for a total of 2400mg or just 800mg a day.

How much mucomyst does that equate to? (i.e. how many ounces of mucomyst and how many times a day) (I guess I also need to know if it is 10% solution or 20%)

I'm asking because I currently use the Bioadvantex fizzy NAC. It is extremely costly. I can get a 3 month supply of Mucomyst for $25.00 It would be a huge savings for us!

Thanks,
Becki

Note I am no expert since I am just now trying this but from my understanding there is both 10 and 20% solutions.

I will be taking 800mg 3x/day for a total of 2400mg/day which is in line with the Dr. Moss studies which did 1000mg 3x/day if I remember correctly but you can check that here: <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://noexcusesnoexcuses.blogspot.com/
">http://noexcusesnoexcuses.blogspot.com/
</a>under the tag nac on the right, it is where I printed my studies from.

So if you were going with a 20% solution and you wanted to get 800mg 3x/day you would take 4mL 3x/day. If you were going for 10% you would do 8mL. Also note that it can be compounded in 10mL and 30mL bottles and I think there is a 96 hour stability on it once it is open.

I will update my blog on how it is going for me and anything new I learn.

My doctor was very open to it and has a couple patients that have been doing this for years and he says they swear by it that it helps their lungs and digestion immensely.
