Hi guys! In the last year I've set two goals for me:
1. Dramatically improve my hair and stop hair loss.
2. Dramatically improve my physique.
As you may have already gathered from the title, I want to discuss creatine.
Creatine has helped me achieve goal 2: it has given me the strength to sustain harder workouts and has enhanced the fullness of my muscles, giving me my dream phisique. Then, I started a treatment with finasteride and minoxidil, which successfully stopped my hair loss—so I achieved goal 1. However, this changed when I began a new cycle of creatine (usually 3 months ON and 1 month OFF). When I take creatine (2g/day), my hair falls out. Unfortunately, this is a fact for me. I don't know the reason or process behind it, but it is true for me.
I would hate to lose the fullness of my muscles, lose my dream phisique, so I am wondering if there are any ways to address this issue.
Here are some options that come to mind:
1. Find an alternative supplement to creatine that can help increase muscle mass and maintain muscle fullness (whey protein is not suitable for me as it causes acne).
2. Increase the dosage of finasteride during the 3 months of creatine intake. (How do you calculate this? Blood DHT exams?)
