[Why] The amino acid arginine may both protect the stomach and increase its blood flow. Various amino acids have shown promise for people with gastritis. In a double-blind trial, taking 200 mg of cysteine four times daily provided significant benefit for people with bleeding gastritis caused by NSAIDs (such as aspirin).31 Cysteine is a sulfur-containing amino acid that stimulates healing of gastritis. In a preliminary trial, 1–4 grams per day of NAC (N-acetyl cysteine) given to people with atrophic gastritis for four weeks appeared to increase healing.32 Glutamine, another amino acid is a main energy source for cells in the stomach and supplementation may increase blood flow to this region.33 Patients in surgical intensive care units often develop gastrointestinal problems related to a glutamine deficiency.34 When burn victims were supplemented with glutamine, they did not develop stress ulcers, even after several operations.35 Nevertheless, it remains unclear to what extent glutamine supplementation might prevent or help existing gastritis. Preliminary evidence suggests the amino acid arginine may both protect the stomach and increase its blood flow,36 but research has yet to investigate the effects of arginine supplementation in people with gastritis.
