Does Creatine cause hair loss?Updated a year ago

There is no research to suggest that creatine directly causes hair loss.

Still, one 2009 study did find that creatine supplementation may be associated with an increase in a hormone called DHT (Dihydrotestosterone), which can contribute to hair loss.

The current research suggests that creatine is safe to use. However, if you’re predisposed to hair loss, you may want to check with a doctor before taking it(Tinsley, G. 2021).
