The Claim
Pretreatment with creatine at 10 mM or nicotinamide at 5 mM reduces reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in human dermal fibroblasts exposed to 600 µM hydrogen peroxide, suggesting that antioxidant activity may contribute to their protective effects against cellular senescence.
What the research says
Roughly balanced
Support and challenge are close. The picture may shift as more studies come in.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Taking creatine or nicotinamide before damage might help protect skin cells from stress and aging by reducing harmful molecules called free radicals.
See the scientific wording
Creatine or nicotinamide pretreatment at 10 mM or 5 mM, respectively, is associated with reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in human dermal fibroblasts exposed to 600 µM hydrogen peroxide, suggesting antioxidant activity may underlie their protective effects against senescence.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Creatine and Nicotinamide Prevent Oxidant-Induced Senescence in Human Fibroblasts
The study found that creatine and nicotinamide help protect skin cells from damage caused by harmful molecules, which supports the idea that they act as antioxidants to prevent aging in these cells.
