Recent reports suggest that creatine supplements may help halt cancer growth and boost the immune response's ability to fight cancer. However, other coverage indicates that these supplements may actually boost tumor metastasis via megakaryocyte signaling pathways.
Coverage is divided across multiple outlets. Medical News Today, MDLinx, and inkorr.com highlight the cancer-fighting potential of the supplement, while Bioengineer.org focuses on the risk of metastasis.
Meanwhile, the SupplySide Supplement Journal claims that some headlines have exaggerated the findings of the paper. Future focus remains on whether creatine and cancer are compatible, as explored by OSF HealthCare, and the validity of the reported perspectives against cancer.
