Summary

This study tests whether taking amino acid supplements, combined with a special diet and exercise program, can help people with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) gain muscle, lose fat, and improve physical abilities like walking and strength.

The goal is to find a safe, supportive treatment to ease symptoms and improve daily function.
