      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Triple blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Based on the code assigned to each individual, participants will be randomly divided into intervention and control groups using stratified randomization based on BMI (25&lt;BMI&lt;18.5 and BMI≥25) via the sealed envelope website. To conceal the random allocation, opaque envelopes sealed with a random sequence will be used. In this method, after generating the random sequence, a number of opaque envelopes corresponding to the study's sample size will be prepared, and each of the generated random sequences will be recorded on a card; the cards will then be placed inside the envelopes in order. To preserve the random sequence, the outer surface of the envelopes will be numbered in the same order. Finally, the envelopes will be sealed and, separated by BMI classification, placed in order inside boxes. At the start of participant enrollment, based on the order in which eligible participants enter the study, the envelopes will be opened sequentially, revealing the assigned group for that participant, Blinding description: All steps of randomization and allocation concealment will be carried out by a third party. The intervention group will receive one daily packet of supplement containing 200 mg of magnesium oxide, 2 g of creatine, and 1 g of dextrose (to improve taste), while the control group will receive one daily packet containing 1 g of dextrose and 2 g of starch, which will be visually similar in appearance to the magnesium-creatine supplement used.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group:The intervention group will receive one daily packet of supplement containing 200 mg magnesium oxide, 2 g creatine, and 1 g dextrose (to improve taste), The supplements used in the intervention and placebo groups will be prepared in identical sachet form. The supplement/placebo will be taken once daily after breakfast, and on dialysis days, intake will be scheduled after the first meal following the dialysis session. The study duration will be 12 weeks. To assess adherence, patients will be met with and monitored weekly, with each visit lasting 20 minutes. Every two weeks, supplements/placebo for the next 14 days will be given to participants, and the empty packets from the previous period will be collected. Patients will also be contacted via social media/messaging platforms. Additionally, a checklist will be given to patients to mark each time they take the supplement or placebo. However, to assess dietary intake — a confounding factor in this study — six 24-hour dietary recalls will be used. One dietary recall will be taken at the beginning of the study, before the intervention begins. The remaining six dietary recalls will be taken at weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12, divided into 4 regular days and 2 dialysis days. Participants will be asked not to change their diet. Patients in both groups will receive a list of dietary recommendations relevant to hemodialysis patients. Serum albumin levels, fatigue, muscle mass and function, quality of life,  will be measured at the beginning and end of the study. Intervention 2: Control group: The supplements used in the intervention and placebo groups will be prepared in identical sachet form. The supplement/placebo will be taken once daily after breakfast, and on dialysis days, intake will be scheduled after the first meal following the dialysis session. The study duration will be 12 weeks. To assess adherence, patients will be met with and monitored weekly, with each visit lasting 20 minutes.
