UCLA Study Highlights Possible Role of Creatine in Cancer Immune Defense
- UCLA researchers found that creatine may do more than support muscle performance; early research suggests it also helps power key immune cells that coordinate the body's defense against cancer
- When immune cells were unable to absorb creatine, they showed lower survival, weaker activation, and a reduced ability to stimulate the T cells responsible for attacking abnormal cells
- Creatine helped immune cells maintain higher levels of ATP, the body's primary cellular energy source, allowing them to stay active and communicate more effectively
- In a mouse melanoma model, creatine supplementation was linked to slower tumor growth, more active immune cells inside tumors, and stronger cancer-fighting immune responses
- Supporting healthy cellular energy through adequate creatine intake, nutrient-dense foods, healthy carbohydrates, and lifestyle habits that strengthen mitochondrial function may help create a stronger foundation for immune health
