Creatine has been nrove(i ineffective in treating animal cancers. He said he could not recall any tests of Cre atine for treatment nf human cancer. But, he added, it is "impos sible to conceive how the mi nute doses of Creatine (in the Krebiozen sample tested) could be of any value in treating can cer in view of the large amounts of Creatine already in the body."
