I've been taking creating since I started working out at age 18. I'm 23 now and once I heard about this, I stop using it because it terrified me. I used to have beautiful hair, a strong N0 just like my father but my right temples have been thinning at age 19. I'm currently at Norwood 1.5 or 2, not 100 percent sure. I used to take this 6 times a day and will work out 2 hours straight heavy lifting. I currently change my work out routine and only take when I lift weights, which is 4 times a week.

My question is, do you guys think creatine is a factor of hair loss in men that work out?

Interesting. Wikipedia has listed a few studies that claim creatine increases T, DHT and IGF-1 while decreasing myostatin. I didn't think creatine had any anabolic effects so now I'm confused. Never taken the stuff myself mind. I've seen the gym life and supplementation lead people from protein to creatine to anabolic steroids.

god, I guess I have to find other methods in motivating myself to work out. Working out natural when your trying to gain muscle mass is really difficult.

I know. I'm unable to put on any significant mass. I'm 185cm but I can only really put on maybe 3 kilos of muscle before I burnout and lose interest in the gym. It's far too hard but as long as I'm in good nick and fit and healthy I'm happy enough. The dietary sacrifices are not worth it for me personally as I love all different kind of foods and I'm unwilling to give them up for such a small aesthetic gain.

I seem to get a lot stronger when I lift but never significantly bigger muscle mass wise.

Yeah, its pretty difficult to maintain the diet, eating 3500 calories a day, 5 times a day. I kind off slack of and add a pizza to the mix when I shouldn't. lol Just need to force myself to work out..must work out....must ...for the ladies

I took creatine for a little while but I didn't go through any hair loss with it.
