Does Creatine Cause Hair Loss? | The Hair Loss Show

So will taking finasteride cancel the extra testosterone that you’re getting from working out, assuming it’s blocking the conversion of DHT?

yes it does $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Doc my question is ? I do a normal work out, so dht is only up when I load and i do workout and i increase the testosteron or daily casue i might assume creatine daily

That was a relief haha

Hindi dubbing me video dalo

I took creatine about 2 months ago. It made a difference in my performance. I’m 28 and had never taken before. I didn’t load; just did 5g a day. I noticed a lot of hair on my pillow and hair on my hands when I would wash my hair(never experienced this before). I’ve looked at many videos (since creatine did help with my energy levels and focus at the gym). All the most popular videos were made by creators that had supplement sponsorships, had a supplement line or ties to the supplement industry. Long story short: I stopped taking creatine and about 2-3 weeks later I stopped shedding.

I ended up more confused. So if you have bad hair genes, does creatine make it worse?

I have no hair on crown so I shave my head every 2-3 days. My concern is beard hair. I have a nice full beard will it affect that negatively?

I love that this dude got straight to the point and then gave the science to back it up

How is it a myth if there are dozens of anecdotal cases for hairloss with creatine? The theory hasn't been amply tested by any means and there are enough anecdotal cases for me to say why take the risk? And the increase in DHT from weightlifting is transient, and there is no evidence that a transient increase will affect hair loss or any other hormone-sensitive matter. It's absolutely not the same.

Creatine does cause hair loss, you are wrong. I have no MPB in my family, yet I noticed serious thinning after a year on 5mg a day. I stopped taking it a few months back and my hair fall has stopped and my hair is thicker

Absolutely great video. Highly insightful and informative. Really appreciate it. Thanks! 🙏

not me sipping creatine and this vid instantly autoplays 💀💀💀

My hair looks better when I work out. It isn't the testosterone but the quality of the T. No one explains this.
A good strong body will create good strong hair. Health begets health.

Lots of men experience hair loss, lots of men taking creatine will experience hair loss creatine or no creatine.

My Experience :

First of all , Creatine is Magic.
For me, felt it Significantly increased my recovery and workout performance when I was trying to get back into working out( Creatine Monohydrate, 5g per day ). Which definitely boost up my motivation in the initial stage. Also comparatively very very cheap. I noticed a increase in hair fall after a month or so. I researched for a bit and found the Online community to be generally positive about Creatine. So I continued the same dosage and Hair loss persisted. Then, I stopped taking Creatine for a month and found my hair loss reduced significantly. Now I have stopped it completely. But I am glad that I took Creatine for its effects and motivation it gave me during the initial phase. So whoever trying creatine keep a check on it , be more aware of the effects it has . Side note , I guess, Creatine is one of the most researched supplements but all I could find about "hair loss and creatine" is that rugby players study and people referring to it. Found very less info on direct studies on "hair loss and creatine" considering the amount of anecdotal experiences of hair loss on Creatine usage. Just saying Absence of Evidence does not mean Evidence of Absence . If I am missing something or any study that I not look into, please tag. Cheers

You don’t know if it causes hair loss bc it hasn’t been studied, even tho the studies would be completely doable and would pay for themselves if the results showed creatine to not cause hair loss.

He didn’t bust anything. There are so many anecdotes where people started to lose hair after creatine and sometimes gain it back after cessation.

The signal is sufficient enough that the hypothesis should have been studied exhaustively.

But it hasn’t. I wonder why not. I wonder why the “‘most studied” supplement of all time hasn’t been tested for the #1 biggest side effects that stops people from buying and using it. That’s a mystery 🤔.

The moment I started taking creative my hair started thinning like crazy

I have small thin hairs on hairline. My crown is very thin . I am taking finasteride for about 1.5 months. Now iam seeing my crown is getting thicker. I wanna know will my thin hair get thin after 4 months on finasteride. Please reply 😢. Also My age is only 22

Talented lecturer.

Finally, I reduced my white flakes on the scalp and hair fall.
First, Massage hair oil and leave it overnight or for a minimum of an hour for it to work.
Secondly, Rinse it out with shampoo.
Next, Put on conditioner of your choice to the roots of your hair.
I used littleeextra cococonion anti hair fall kit for these steps as it's gentle and organic, and is considered gud for hair fall control.
Incase if you also have dandruff, apply lemon juice on your scalp at least once a week prior to shampooing and wash it off about an hour later.

Thanks!

But studies have shown the DHT to T ratio increase after taking creatine.. so it can't just be due to an increase in T

Mene pichle 2 din s creatine liya mere kabhi bhi hair fall nhi hua jaiss hi liya aaj bal m.hath lgaya tha to ball hatho m aaaye h mb ka liya h ot bss 3 gram liya paani bhi 7 liter piya h mere genetics bhi ache h plss btaiye y kyu hua h or

So a guy in my college started creatine he doesn't have a beard he told one guy that it's because of creatine with a 😐face yea he doesn't like that he cannot grow a beard his friends will make fun of him for not having a beard he always replay with nothing and this face😐 but we all know what he is thinking inside his mind he thinks about the creatine he is in taking idk weather he is sad or mad that it happened but it did I also go to gym fully natural was on 95 when I started yea yea fata** not the cut is going good yea we do arm wrestling in class his friend recommended him that he will participate in that against me but he said with a face 😐 it's a natural hand and just didn't participate yea he might be sad or mad who knows

How about we take creatine along with finasteride ?

can middle aged hair loss be reversed by preventing DHT formation?

Thanks a lot ❤

Imagine putting a drug in your body (Finasteride) to reduce your natural DHT levels which naturally give you libido, sexual performance, sexual satisfaction, all to save your hair. Tell me, what is it worth to you?

For anyone interested. I’m planning on doing an experiment on myself to test if I experienced hair loss while taking creatine monohydrate, so here’s the set up. I’ve currently been taking creatine monohydrate for around 3 months, but I think I may have thinned my hair just a bit, but I can’t really tell. So I plan on stopping creatine supplementation for around 2-3 months, and seeing if my hair gets thicker or if I was freaking myself out. After the 3 month period I plan on taking creatine HCl for a bit a see if the thinning still persists. Also gonna be tracking if I lose any strength or size

Good stuff!

Why does the thumbnail look like you're laughing at the bald guy?

Can we take creatine with some DHT Blocker medicine will it solve the problem?


Another question does protien supplement or natural testosterone boosters also contribute in hair loss?

Summary of the talk:

Creatine supplements do not have a direct affect on hair loss, however, creatine give the muscles nutrients to grow, which in turn increases testosterone in the body. This higher level of testosterone leads to more DHT production in people who are genetically predisposed to male pattern balding, leading to more hair loss.
In people who don't have the balding gene, creatine and testosterone will have no effect on their hairline.

I used it only for 40 days and then started losing hair after quitting 😢, also my body has tanned , didn’t do anything different only used creatine

Started taking creatine a week ago and after seeing it is very likely to cause hair loss, never taking it again! Glad I found this out and see people’s comments from first hand experience

Some of these comments lol. Creatine wont make you bald. If you start shedding soon after taking it, its likely because its causing your hormones to spike, which causes hair to shed sooner than it should. But that grows back. If you end up bald, its simply genetics.

Source: been on trt for a year and occasionally take creatine. Neither of those have caused me to go bald, or even have thinning hair. Its genetics people.

Resistance training increase T?!.. evidence?.......
Nah.. not evidence based. (Meta analysis of RCT's potter 2021 et al).

if i lose hair because of creatine and i dont take it anymore if i use min i will stil lose hair after i stop using ? even my dht level are back ? 10q

Best explanation so far.

I have been taking creatine for 6 weeks, when I go trough my hair I have a lot of hairs in my hand…. My crown area is thinning and the front part isnt growing anymore…..

What about taking creatine and finasteride who have the gene for hair loss ? How much would the Dht go up ? Or would finasteride wouldn’t let the dht go up even if you are taking creatine?

biggest problem wrt hair loss is choosing the wrong parents . .

I had a hair transplant 10 years ago. I would to start taking creatine and my hair start to fall out. What should I do?

How does one test if they have this particular gene? 23 and Me? A blood test?

the fact that these hair doctors themselves can't prevent their own hairloss indicates that it's waste of time to consult doctors for hairloss.

Ill leave out the creatine I think 😂

I want to take some of your video footage for educational purposes, thank you😊

Very informative! A question: does Toppik contain creatine?
