Does creatine cause hair loss is a question that is frequently asked by men and women who use it to boost their athletic performance. This thought of losing hair is usually quite displeasing to them since no one enjoys loosing their hair.
Ahead, we will answer the question of whether creatine causes hair loss and tell you what you should do if you notice your strands decreasing as you consume it.
.
Does Creatine Cause Hair Loss?
Creatine does not cause direct hair loss and it does not damage hair follicles.
However, one study found it increased DHT levels but did not cause hair loss. DHT stands for dihydrotestosterone and it is the hormone linked to androgenetic alopecia (AGA) which is also known as male pattern baldness in men and female pattern baldness in women.
Another study that examined the effect of creatine supplementation in men found that it did not contribute to hair loss. Multiple other studies have also arrived at this conclusion.
It is therefore safe to conclude that taking creatine to increase strength, muscle mass, and workout performance at the standard dose of 3-5 grams per day does not cause hair loss or stimulate hair growth.
However, persons who are very genetically prone to developing AGA should monitor their hair. If they notice their hair thinning when using creatine, they can use DHT blockers to reduce the effects of DHT on the hair follicles. We recommend Advanced Trichology DHT Blocker Hair Growth Supplement.
