Creatine may accelerate hair loss in those genetically predisposed, with some users reporting increased shedding while taking it and improvement after stopping. Some users use treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, while opinions on creatine's impact vary.
community Does creatine increase DHT/cause hair loss?
Creatine is reported to cause increased hair shedding, but there is no scientific evidence linking it to hair loss. Some users manage hair loss with finasteride and minoxidil or consider stopping creatine if shedding worsens.
community I unintentionally experimented with creatine. I now 100% believe it speeds up hair loss tremendously.
The user believes creatine significantly speeds up hair loss, as they experienced increased shedding after starting creatine alongside finasteride and minoxidil. Others in the conversation share mixed opinions, with some agreeing and others attributing the shedding to other factors like initial shedding from treatments or increased DHT from weight training.
community Does creatine really speed up hair loss if you have male pattern baldness?
Creatine is not proven to cause hair loss, but some report increased shedding, especially with male pattern baldness. Finasteride or minoxidil are suggested to counteract potential hair loss while using creatine.
community creatine has not effected my hair
Creatine generally does not affect hair loss, but some report increased shedding due to higher DHT levels. Many manage hair loss with dutasteride, finasteride, and minoxidil.
