I legit think creatine induces baldness

[ScottGomez]

Literally creatine, not the bicycle version

Cliffs :

- Purchased some creatine because it's cheap and because I've never used it consistently before
- Started using it on the regular, one scoop (5g) a day
- Life went on as usual
- After about a month, I go for a haircut. At the end of the haircut, the barber pulls out a mirror to show the back of my head.
- I legit freeze, notice a hairless spot at the top-back. I was feeling uneasy, first time this happened
- Checked it out again at home, it was indeed noticeable, fukk.
- Dropped the creatine, because it was the only thing I added to my daily routine
- Was afraid to check out the back of my head for almost two months, until I got another haircut. This time, to my relief, the bald spot was gone and all my hair was back in place

Meanwhile, I went out a few timesand was indeed self-conscious about the bald spot, drove me crazy. Thank god all is back to normal now

If you actually google "creatine + baldness" you do get related articles and discussion. Even examine.com has an article on it : http://examine.com/faq/does-creatine-cause-baldness/. Although there doesn't seem a "set in stone" relation, creatine may accelerate things

[Clkflynn]

Creatine increases DHT production.
And guess what DHT can cause.
MPB.

[justgenetics]

same experience bro. also noticed it made my angus bald too. fisting myself hasn't been the same ever since.

[CompoundsFTW]

Youll end up bald anyway boyo

[SageofsixPaths]

More reason to take it if it increases DHT

its what makes men men.


Taking some finesteride or whatever and become a numale and chemically castrate yourself rather than accepting your bald heritage.


Jacked as phuck + bald = alpha

[Shysty021]

Creatine increases dht

Dht can cause an increase in male pattern baldness

Take ketoconazole shampoo to prevent it

[Sh1f7]

Gotta take liver support w/ it bruh

[Peasantfighter]

barber trolled you hard bro, he fuked up and cut the bald spot in as a cover up.

hehe I wish. I could touch the skin on that spot, it was a bad feeling

[TreyTrey]

Have been taking it roughly 4 years never experienced hair loss.. Does/did your mothers father have hair?

[ihavetomakeit]

I've quit taking it until more studies come out. Don't know if MPB runs in the family so I'd rather be on the safe side.

Yes creatine can cause balding, but no you didn't lose hair and "regained" them a few months later after dropping creatine. It was probably shedding and hair cycle.

This.

If a bit of creatine actually did cause such a quick lose, you're going to be bald soon anyways.

This as well.

Took Finasteride for almost 2 years. Can confirm that it is castration indeed.

lifting itself can cause baldness since you are increasing testosterone just by lifting.

[bodybuilderbob8]

Damn, I have a thick head of hair, and I've taken creatine for a few months now with no signs of balding, but this makes me nervous. Fuk the extra gains. I would look ridiculous bald (srs).

[JayDubbs932]

Ever since I started lifting routinely, I started losing my hair. I took creatine at the same time as well. Same situation; got a haircut and saw my hair looking thin at the corners and on the crown. Stopped taking creatine for about a year (still lifted) and hair loss continued. I just started creatine again because I'm gonna shave my head after I get a decent tan in Cancun over the summer. But creatine raises test levels which is gonna lead to hair loss from the dht.

[EISOBAX]

i have a receding hairline and if taken creatine for a while now, it never made my worse

[ScottGomez]

I've been lifting for 7-8 years on and off now and this was the first time I noticed balding and it was the first time I took creatine regularly for a month

That being said, I wouldn't go on and believe that it affects everyone. Just like allergies, some can go through their whole life without any allergic reaction and another person will end up in the hospital after eating a peanut

[RihanM]

Lol at your poverty hair genetics

I take 5g creatine routinely and have never had any issues with hair loss.

It can't cause it.

It increases DHT production, and DHT sort of causes MPB, but what really causes it is hair follicle sensitivity to DHT. Which is 100% genetic. If regular creatine or creatine 2.0 is making you go bald, it was going to happen later in your life inevitably.

[pogioli4]

baldness is genetic.
certain things can accelerate it though. If you are already going to go bald, an increase in DHT could cause you to bald quicker

[Chelbull]

this is why i still have an unopen tub of creatine in my room lolz, feelbadmen.jpg..... i'll just wait until i start to naturally bald then i'll hop on with the rest of you brahs

[SeymourGains]

[Nosferatu187]

dumbest logic ever.

[Nizza123]

Have you seen Steve Cook's hairline? That guy snorts Creatine 50 times a day.

[randomguy232]

Creatine increases DHT production.
And guess what DHT can cause.
MPB.

truth

[rjones416]

creatine isnt even worth the risk. what does it even do? give you an extra half rep? i'll take my hair over a little better performance any day.

[mrvz]

I pretty much know I'm gonna go bald soon brahs

Took mono when I was 17 and my hair started falling out every time I brushed my hair and it was a LOT. stopped taking it since but I definitely know I have mpb

[BokaChele]

Creatine increases DHT production.

MPB.

That explains everything.....

[Harrison222]

If your mom's dad is bald you are like 100% sure to go bald. Correct me if I'm wrong.
