Creatine does not increase DHT levels or cause hair loss. Personal experiences vary, but scientific evidence shows no link between creatine and hair loss.
Minoxidil may inhibit androgen receptors and affect hormonal pathways, potentially explaining its effectiveness in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Users discuss its varying effectiveness on scalp versus facial hair and note fewer side effects with topical use compared to oral.
Creatine does not significantly affect DHT levels or cause hair loss. Some users continue using finasteride and minoxidil while taking creatine, expressing skepticism about its impact on hair loss.
Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to affect scalp DHT levels, not just a week. The prostate absorbs Dutasteride faster than the scalp due to different vascular networks and enzyme densities.
