AXA1125 is an experimental drug developed by Axcella Health that "increased β-oxidation and improved bioenergetics in preclinical models". It was studied as a treatment for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and long COVID.[1][2][3][4]

AXA1125 is a fixed composition comprising five amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, valine, arginine, and glutamine) and an amino acid derivative (N-acetylcysteine).[5]
