Creatine and Hair loss

[zod]

Hello,

Just doing some searching on Creatine before I begin, seen a few articles linking Creatine with Hair loss, anyone have any issues with this or know of any articles proving this theory.

I am all for trying out creatine but would have second thoughts if it started to give that side effect.

Thanks all

Hey Creatine does cause Hair Loss
Everybody may not experience it but I surely am
I am loosing more more than 100 hairs per day now (before zero to 3-4)
I took it for 40 days I have stopped it since 4 days still no change in hairloss
But I hope hairloss will stop in a week or 2 and my hairs would regrow
I'd be posting in some weeks about it
I now beyond any doubt believe that one must go for hard work only and should stay away from all such supplements

Dude, you are like a broken record. How many MORE times are you going to post this BS??? STOP!!

Yes, creatine is tauted for increasing muscle mass, but it also increases testosterone. In the presence of high testosterone levels, too much DHT is produced in the body, resulting in unwanted hair loss.

Please cite your sources for these claims.
I understand what creatine is, and how the body uses it. I don't think you, since creatine doesn't affect Test levels OR increase lean muscle mass.
