The purpose of this pilot study is to test if an "immuno-nutrition" supplement can decrease inflammation in people on haemodialysis. This immuno-nutrition supplement is high in calories and protein like other common nutritional supplements, but also contains a unique combination of ingredients that have been shown to reduce inflammation (a problem which is caused by the body's defence \[immune\] system communicating that something is wrong) and improve the immune system in people with cancer. The research team hopes that this small study will help with gaining a good understanding of the effect of immuno-nutrition on inflammation in people on haemodialysis, which will guide and allow the research team to do a larger research study in the future.
