Does creatine lead to hair loss? Creatine and the hair loss myth explained.
Lots of weight lifters and athletes who use creatine start to wonder if the supplements may be linked to baldness.
In order to see if with this substance hair loss really does occur, it is necessary to understand the way it works and the basic causes of hair loss.
Many people say that within just a few months of using creatine, they noticed a significant decrease in hair.
The main reason that people theorize that creatine may cause hair loss is because it increases levels of an hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), an androgenic hormone.
When there is a big amount of androgenic hormones being absorbed into the body, male baldness progresses at a much faster rate.
So, creatine can cause hair loss by increasing DHT levels in our body.
No scientific studies have been done specifically on the relation between creatine abd hair loss, but there is a lot of medical research that support the idea that it can lead to hair loss.
For example, as we say in the video a 2009 study examined rugby players who took creatine, and it was noticed that after 28 days of taking creatine, testosterone levels stayed the same, but DHT levels increased by no less than 56 percent.
No other research has shown actually such a huge increase of DHT levels, but there are many other studies that show overall DHT and testosterone levels are increased by a minimum of15 percent when weight lifters or regular people use creatine while training.
Years of research have shown that DHT causes hair thinning to progress at a faster pace, so creatine is definitively linked to an increase in male pattern baldness.
However, if you are already experiencing hair loss, then creatine can stimulate this process and make you go bald faster.
Think two times before using large amounts of creatine.
