    Default One more on creatine....

    Hello, I'm new to the forum.

    I recently started taking creatine back in September. I've notice (and do has my girlfriend) that I've really started to lose my hair particularly in the crown.

    I stopped taking creatine a couple days ago. I won't touch it.

    Is there any chance my hair will start to comeback? I know creatine stays in the system for about 4-6 weeks.

    Should I wait, before considering taking propecia or something?

    I don't think creatine and your hair loss issues are related. You body produces creatine on a daily basis. I think it might just be a coincidence that you started losing your hair when you started to take creatine.

    creatine is an organic acid supplying energy to all cells in the body, not related to your haire loss

    Sorry, but this statement is inaccurate....There are several studies that have shown that creatine intake raises dht-levels at about 60%.....After this beeing said, you do the math:-)...There might be a direct link from your creatine intake and the beginning hair loss....
    Sorry for my bad english, i'm from Germany and school is a long time ago:-)
    Best regards

    Do you have a reference to those studies? 60 percent is a huge jump. The entire testosterone replacement therapy industry could just drop the T Gels and start handing out creatine supplements instead.

    I think you are missing a point here.... TRTs main goal is to increase testosterone, not dht... With increased testosterone always goes increased dht, but it's simply a by-product and in many cases a negative one...So i'm not sure if TRT-industry would really find this helpful under any circumstances:-)

    Here is one study:
    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/19741313/
    56% increase after 7 days....40% longterm....

    Took me about 2s to find it via google, if your interested in further studies you may search yourself next time;-)

    Best regards
