Likelihood of creatine causing baldness/norwooding/hairloss?

[aBetterMii]

How likely is it to be on typical daily intake (3-5 grams) of creatine that it will effect hair?

 

[thereallegend]

yeah 5g was too much for me. I take 1.25 of creatine hcl now

Too much how? What side effects

 

[thereallegend]

Too much how? What side effects

temple recession. also monohydrate causes face bloat

Take it. If you get sides even from such safe thing as creatine its over cuz you are subhuman anyway.
It works better if u mix it up with tren.

5g is monohydrate dose. For hcl its 1,5 g.

Bump

 

[keep positive 24/7]

chance of hairloss? around 10%

chance of wasting your money on a useless supplement? 100%

everything will cause balding if you're already prone to it.

 

[buflek]

well it raises dht, just like many other things.

so if your scalp is sensitive to dht (aka u are prone to male pattern baldness), creatine will make you bald faster.

i always cringe when my irl friends say creatine doesnt cause hairloss. well it doesnt directly, but it speeds it up if ur prone to it

yes you can take steroids and still be norwood zero

Everything increases DHT even working out. If you're worried about DHT you need to block it somehow (e.g. fin)

I don't think creatine does much. and it costs 5x what it used to so not really worth

Go ER.

just take mk677 instead. i've never taken creatine because of how it affects hair

 

[BoneDensity]

it did for me, lost about 40% of my hair on top if not more

How do i find out if im exposed? Looking at older male family members hairlines?

is anyone in ur family balding

just see if ur balding rn. does the shape of ur hairline change?

 

[aBetterMii]

It does not appear to have just high forehead

 

[aBetterMii]

is anyone in ur family balding

My family seems to have pretty good genetics in regard to that (italian genes saving day prolly)

so no one is bald at all? unless your grandpa has nw0 its not worth it and ypu gave the balding gene

Doesn’t effect hair ever from what I heard

 

[Sondern]

temple recession. also monohydrate causes face bloat

Neither of these are true

 

[SoberAndRetarded]

Wtf is the gate keeping ITT? Creatine is a cheat code. It didn’t cause hair loss for me and it increases muscle size by like 30%

How is your familys hair genetics?

You got me, me and my brothers all have full heads of hair (28, 31, 37). But we all take creatine too.

From what i see on this site and google medical sites, it can cause it early if genetically predispositioned for it, but that effect hasnt been specifially studied

what happens if you're on dut ? can we take it then ?

i dont think creatine works if ur on dut, at least the DHT effects of it

 

[makeme183]

interesting theory , but that's not how creatine works

what creatine does is increase the hydration of the muscle tissue, which leads to
1.bigger muscles due to water retention
2.better cytoplasmic function due to adequate hydration

reason why creatine causes balding is cuz it accelerates the conversion of test to DHT
so theoretically, if you're running a 5-ARI,creatine won't be able to do that and you wouldn't lose hair

also , DHT is a shit anabolic compared to Test
people with congenital deficiency of 5-AR are more muscular than the general population
