Creatine, a popular supplement, may enhance the immune system's ability to fight cancer. Researchers found creatine activates dendritic cells, which identify tumors and direct killer T-cells. This boosts the immune response, potentially improving cancer immunotherapy effectiveness. Studies on mice showed creatine slowed tumor growth and increased active immune cells. Human cell experiments also confirmed its benefits, though clinical trials are pending.
