Glutamine deficiencies are rare, even in vegetarians who eat little or no dairy products. Glutamine provides energy for cells in the small intestine and stomach. Taken in a dose of 500 to 1000 mg three times daily, it may speed the healing of ulcers.1 The amino acid N-acetyl Cystene (NAC) appears to inhibit HIV replication in a laboratory setting.2 Supplementation appears to slow the decline of immune function in HIV patients.
