The Claim
Pretreatment with 10 mM creatine monohydrate or 5 mM nicotinamide is associated with reduced hydrogen peroxide-induced senescence in primary human dermal fibroblasts, as evidenced by decreased beta-galactosidase activity and reduced p21 protein expression, suggesting these compounds may help preserve fibroblast function under oxidative stress conditions.
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 from hydrogen peroxide might help skin cells stay healthier longer by reducing signs of aging in the lab.
