Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a randomized, single blind study to determine whether AXA1665, a composition of naturally occuring amino acids, is well tolerated in subjects with mild and moderate hepatic insufficiency. Study will also examine how the food product may influence the biology in muscle which will be assessed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and other functional assessments such as strength, balance and cognition as part of a comprehensive physical/neurological exam. Changes in blood biomarkers of inflammation will also be assessed.
