Glutamine supplementation is supposed to reduce mortality, nosocomial infections and length

to oxidative stress (REDOX) trials did not provide evidence supporting this. This study
investigated the impact of glutamine-supplemented nutrition on the outcomes of critically ill
patients using a meta-analysis.
