Creatine And Hair Loss, Any Validity To It?

[kj6723]

I've seen a lot of stuff about it possibly speeding up the male pattern baldness process, but it all seems to be anecdotal.

I'm adding some supplements to my regimen as I'm on a workout routine at the moment that is both high volume cardio and high volume strength training, and I'm having some recovery issues and looking to give myself a boost. I'm going to start with Creatine and BCAA's, and I may add some pre-workout into the mix as well, but I can't help being a bit paranoid about creatine with these stories I've read.

Anyone here taking creatine and maintaining their hair pretty well?

There's one study weakly correlating creatine use to increased DHT in college athletes, so basically no convincing evidence.

I was off creatine for like half a year just because I didn't wanna take any risks.
Then I saw the amount of shedding I get and I was like fck it... I thought to myself that there's no way I'm shedding less than the time I was creatine . I loaded for 5-6 days with 20-25g a day and now I'm taking 5-6g a day.

It's been a long time since I've been this plump, man I miss this feeling. I look fuller, lifts are going up, shirts are fitting me more tightly, I love it.

I'm currently on 1mg finasteride and minoxidil foam twice a day. I'll also be adding Alpicort F once it arrives.

Just wanna add that I finally know I am a creatine responder. For about 2 years I took creatine without a break and thought it's not doing anything. It seems like not everyone is a creatine responder though.

I'm also on the big 3, so hopefully if there is some slight risk that will minimize it

Excited to see what this creatine might do for me! I ordered Optimum Nutrition's today, supposed to be here Monday and I'm planning a loading phase for about a week

Honestly I'm somewhat interested in cycling some test, I know it would solve my recovery problems, but I'm WAY too paranoid about what those extra androgens might do to my hair

Creatine shouldnt disturb male pattern baldness graph since its boosting max 5~8% of dht levels. If you're prone to male pattern baldness, these numbers wouldnt save you.

Dont even try test if you dont know how to use it, learn to get 6 proper meals a day learn how your body works learn everything about the gym life then consider test e on low dose without the proper meal plan test wont do a sh*t

Six meals a day is a myth promoted by the protein supplement manufacturers.

Six meals a day is a myth promoted by the protein supplement manufacturers.

This is correct, the body functions 24 hours anyway.

But you need to find out what works best for you.

I personally eat every 4 hours though.

about 4-5 meals

 

[Janekoman12]

6 meals is not a myth i eat 4 Times for 2 years put on 2 more meals i made all kinde of gains so its not a myth

 

[Janekoman12]

It's a myth that more smaller meals helps. It was promoted by the protein supplement companies.

I think it depends on the person. I have read about this happening with some people and not with others. I think medication and diet play a role in this as well. Not just taking creatine.
