Summary
This study tests a proprietary amino acid drink given twice daily for up to 4 days to older adults (60+) hospitalized with infections who have delirium. 20 participants get the drink, 20 get standard care, and 20 non-delirious controls are observed. The goal is to see if the drink reduces delirium severity, measured by standard confusion tests.
