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.

In plain English

Taking creatine or nicotinamide before damage from hydrogen peroxide might help skin cells stay healthier longer by reducing signs of aging in the lab.

Pretreatment with 10 mM creatine monohydrate or 5 mM nicotinamide is associated with reduced hydrogen peroxide-induced senescence in primary human dermal fibroblasts, as measured by decreased beta-galactosidase activity and p21 protein expression, suggesting these agents may help maintain fibroblast function under oxidative stress.

What the research says

1 study
  1. Study: Creatine and Nicotinamide Prevent Oxidant-Induced Senescence in Human Fibroblasts

    The study shows that giving cells creatine or nicotinamide before oxidative stress helps protect them from aging, just like the claim says.
