Think Creatine is Just for Muscles? Why Athletes and Brain Scientists Both Recommend Creatine

For decades, creatine has been the undisputed king of the weight room. It is the most heavily researched ergogenic aid on the planet, trusted by millions of athletes to build lean mass, boost lower-limb power, and accelerate muscle recovery. But a major paradigm shift is happening in sports science and neurology. Researchers are stepping
A mouse study and an in vitro study with human cells found that creatine supplementation enhanced the activity of dendritic cells, which use cancer tumor fragments to initiate activity of killer T cells. The creatine supported the energy needs of the dendritic cells that were competing with cancer cells, and in the mouse model suppressed cancer tumor growth.

The UCLA study, conducted in mouse models and human cells and published in iScience, shows dendritic cells — the immune cells that direct killer T cells to attack cancer — ramp up their intake of creatine inside tumors and depend on it to function effectively in this nutrient-poor environment.

Tens of millions of people take creatine every day. They bought it for their muscles. They measure their doses by how much weight they can add to a…
I forgot that I had also run out of vitamin E, so the day I took the creatine I only took one 100 IU capsule in the morning and nothing the next day. Usually I take a 100 IU capsule in the morning and another before bed. This is why I like to try a supplement several times (if it doesn't go really horribly wrong the first time) - there's always some other variable to consider.
Vitamin E (as alpha tocopherol) is correlated with reduced asthma risk and lower lung inflammation.
There seems to be a relationship between creatine and vitamin E, also - at least in the context of cystic fibrosis:

I had been thinking about trying creatine again and reading about the myelin-brain energy metabolism story nudged me to actually do it. So yesterday I took 3g of creatine. I had tried it years ago, but I thought it increased my allergy symptoms. There was a study* that found that it increased symptoms in soccer players with allergic asthma, so it seems possible it could do that. However, I usually try supplements multiple times since there are so many things that could influence my reactivity.
I think I slept better than usual last night, though I was a bit groggy when I first woke up this morning.
Unfortunately, my esophagus was more reactive than normal this morning.
This is disappointing since my nephew says that taking creatine has reduced his migraine frequency.
I am taking collagen peptides, which contains a lot lof glycine. Glycine supplementation can boost endogenous creatine synthesis. Maybe that will work for me.

A small (and, unfortunately, unbalanced) randomized controlled trial of the separate and combined effects of 16 weeks of resistance training and creatine in adults 65 and older found that training increased neurocognition, oxidative balance, inflammation, strength, and function. Creatine had a synergistic effect on all measures but cognition.

Recent studies highlight that creatine, known for enhancing physical performance, also offers significant benefits for health and brain function, due to its essential role in cellular energy production.
