Starting oral GSH

Well, my GSH Caps from Theranaturals are here, and of course, I can't find my link about how to start it out anywhere. I do remember that I am supposed to start at a 1/4 of a dose, and do that for a week, add another 1/4 for another week (total half a dose), etc. until at the end of the month, I am taking my full dose.

The questions:

1) I'm supposed to take it every 3 to 4 hours, 4 times a day? Is that right?

and 2) am I supposed to open the capsules and take 1/2 the powder 4 times a day? (this would be about a 1/4 dose for me- 1/2 of a 500 mg capsule). (And what should I mix it in? I heard it tastes awful!)

Or do I just take 2 capsules a day (spaced out 8 hours)?

*sigh* I just want to get this right...<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif" border="0">

Here's the link.

Not going to try inhaled?

I'd just go with the 2 capsules a day rather than trying to measure out the powder

Hmmm, Thanks for the link, but, um, I tried it and got this? :

"Sorry, but the page or the file that you're looking for is not here."

I am going to try the oral first and see what happens (I am also hoping it helps my liver, and I go back to the GI in a couple months), then I am thinking about the inhaled NAC or GSH. So much of this is new to me- I'm sticking my toes in first... <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">
