CREATINE BENEFITS THE BRAIN, THE MUSCLE, AND THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
CREATINE BENEFITS THE BRAIN, THE MUSCLE, AND THE IMMUNE SYSTEM. Creatine supplementation may improve cognitive function, improve memory, and boost mood, particularly in individuals experiencing stress or sleep deprivation and for both vegetarians and older adults, as they typically have lower baseline levels of creatine. In patients with Myasthenia Gravis (MG), creatine is considered an “integrative therapeutic” that may help manage muscle weakness and fatigue. Because MG is characterized by a failure of neuromuscular transmission, the muscles themselves often become “energy-starved” or deconditioned. Creatine supplementation is thought to provide a metabolic buffer, helping these compromised muscles maintain ATP (energy) levels during activity.
The role of creatine in oncology and immunology represents an exciting frontier in biomedical research. Research reveals that creatine acts as a critical “molecular battery” that helps the immune system wage war against tumors.
