We all know thar creatine monohydrate is an ergogenic supplement that helps increase muscle mass and strength and improves sports performance.
What you might not know is that it also, according to a recent study published in the JSCR, can help the oxidative damage caused by both aerobic and resistance exercise. DNA, lipids, and proteins are all damaged. The reactive oxygen species(ROS) generated by exercise causes "extensive DNA damage."
The study showed that 7 days of Creatine(Cr) supplementation reduced the damaging effects of an acute bout of resistance exercise. A previous study of runners in a 30km race showed that Cr reduced cell damage and reduced inflammation.
I'm no shill for the supplement industry, but if Cr can help prevent you from becoming a mutant, maybe you should give it a go.
