2. Does creatine cause baldness?
No, this is often linked to people who use AAS (anaerobic anabolic steroids). Which actually does cause baldness... They often use creatine to achieve maximum results. Unfortunately, it is therefore associated with going bald. Additionally, rumors circulate that creatine could cause hair loss. However, the scientific basis for this claim is weak. The concern mainly stems from an early study that suggested an increase in the hormone DHT with creatine use, a hormone associated with hair loss. Nevertheless, the results of this study have not been replicated in further research, and creatine is generally considered a safe supplement. The impact of creatine on hair loss can vary depending on personal genetics, and we are getting older, which actually does cause baldness... And furthermore, your predisposition to baldness is genetically determined.²
