What effects does creatine have on the above topics? Is it safe to take creatine if you are not yet done with puberty and growing?

Don't wanna risk getting bald
Add less water retention and overall leannes, quicker recovery time to the listWhat effects does creatine have on the above topics? Is it safe to take creatine if you are not yet done with puberty and growing?

My thinking is that créatine increases DHT which is responsible for male characteristics liek jaw, chin, frame, etc. Probelm is it’s linked to baldness as wellI think you're overestimating the effects of creatine. It'll bloat you slightly and make you slightly stronger, and also has a small chance of making you go bald quicker (however this is debated)
créatine increases DHT
There is no double blind placeo controlled studies of creatine effecting balding, and it does nothing other than have you retain a little bit more water to help you get out mabe an extra rep during your final set.
Doesn't Creatine INCREASE water retention?Add less water retention and overall leannes, quicker recovery time to the list
yesDoesn't Creatine INCREASE water retention?
These people were taking 25 grams of creatine a day for 7 dayslevels of DHT increased by 56% after 7 days of creatine loading and remained 40% above baseline after 14 days maintenanceThree weeks of creatine monohydrate supplementation affects dihydrotestosterone to testosterone ratio in college-aged rugby players - PubMed
Creatine supplementation may, in part, act through an increased rate of conversion of T to DHT. Further investigation is warranted as a result of the high frequency of individuals using creatine supplementation and the long-term safety of alterations in circulating androgen composition...www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Not risking it
Thoughts on finasteride?These people were taking 25 grams of creatine a day for 7 days
If you think it's still to risky, thats fine, I just want to provide some context to show that its far more than people would be actually ingesting, and as far as I know there aren't any studies stating how elevated your DHT levels have to be in order to actually start balding.
It might not even matter since DHT sensitivity is more important than the amount in your blood.
I don't take it either way.
On loading phase you take 20gs of creatine per dayThese people were taking 25 grams of creatine a day for 7 days

No idea never looked into itThoughts on finasteride?
"Loading phase" is retarded if you plan on taking it long term since you'll have it int you regardless.On loading phase you take 20gs of creatine per day
