Creatine and Hairloss

[Mouthbreath]

watch this video, there are probably few people who know more about the topic than this guy (I'd call him a soft maxxer, if you are interested in roiding solely for looks his videos are great)



So basically creatine can indeed cause hairloss (thats how it looks like based on the limited amount of data available), the dht to testosteorne ratio increases significantly on creatine (however the biggest levels of dht were present in the loading phase, and as research suggests a loading phase is not even necessary). Testosterone did also increase from taking creatine! So at the end of the day taking creatine is like everything else that's anabolic, it causes higher t-levels, more strength maybe even some minor facial masculinization idk, but on the other hand leads to hairloss if you're prone to it. So it is a question of what you value more, your hair or your androgens. Basically if you follow some of the healthnut diets, e.g. hardcore vegan diets, yes you minimize hairloss and acne and whatnot but at what price? In my opinion the price is lower androgen levels in general

creatine is the most important natty lifting supplement.

If creatine causes hairloss for you, you were very prone to it in the first place and most likely losing it slowly already anyways. Avoiding creatine would barely extend the lifetime of your hair and you are better off starting fin asap.

? You usually cycle creatine anyways. So when you're cut you stop taking it. The strength and thus the muscle gains on creatine are permanent.
