Across 3 studies, 1 reported a beneficial large effect on reducing mortality rate in critically ill septic patients, while 2 found neutral effects with small effect sizes. The evidence is limited to clinical populations with sepsis or septic shock; the most-studied dose was 3 g/day for 7 days, though only 1 of 3 studies reported dose and duration. The median study duration was 7 days, which is too short to assess longer-term mortality outcomes.
