Does Creatine Cause Hair Loss?

Send us Fan Mail In this insightful episode we tackle the hot topic: Does creatine cause hair loss? Diving into the original 2009 study linking creatine to increased DHT levels—a hormone traditionally associated with male pattern baldness—we explain how more recent research in 2025 challenges this connection. We unpack newer theories suggesting that hair loss may be more closely tied to blood flow and early cardiovascular disease rather than DHT alone. The episode covers different forms of creatine (monohydrate vs. HCL), common digestive side effects during loading phases, and the expanding use of creatine for neurocognitive benefits. Whether you're taking 5 grams or experimenting with higher doses, the verdict is clear: the science on creatine and hair loss is still evolving, and there’s no definitive reason to ditch your supplements just yet. Are you eager to explore more about health and wellness?
