Creatine doesn't just build muscle. It may also help fight cancer

Researchers have discovered that creatine may enhance one of the immune system's most potent cancer-fighting mechanisms by energizing dendritic cells that activate killer T cells. This finding suggests creatine could potentially strengthen immunotherapy treatments in the future. While the results are encouraging in laboratory studies, these benefits have not yet been tested in human patients. The discovery opens new avenues for developing more effective cancer treatments by optimizing the body's natural immune defenses. Further clinical trials will be needed to determine if creatine supplementation could become a valuable tool in cancer treatment strategies.
