Is there any merit to the claim that Creatine supplements cause hairloss in men?

I don't love giving into FUD, but I don't have any hair to lose lol

I've also tried to find this out but seems like there's a lack of quality clinical studies on the subject. There's at least one (flawed/low quality) study that linked it to increasing DHT levels which in turn might cause hair loss... Personally I avoid it to err on the side of caution 🤷‍♂️

No - just don’t like the thought of losing any

if it boosts dht, that would be news to me.  I don't see how it could cause your gonads to increase their test output.  are you on finasteride?

I feel like creatine is one of the most used health products in the fitness industry. I’d think it wouldn’t be so popular if it made you lose hair 🤷🏼‍♂️

I don’t think that’s true my friend ￼
