A Common Gym Supplement May Give Cancer-Fighting Cells an Energy Boost
Reported byScienceAlert ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
UCLA researchers published findings in iScience showing creatine acts as an energy battery for dendritic cells that support killer T cells in cancer immunotherapy. In mouse melanoma models, boosting creatine significantly slowed tumor growth and increased dendritic cell activity and numbers.
Evidence is limited to mouse models and human cells grown in the laboratory; cancer patients should not self-supplement without consulting a doctor.
