I really want to start taking creatine because my strength has plateaued but I am terrified of the hair loss rumors. I have read that it can increase DHT levels which might accelerate male pattern baldness. I am only 22 and I want to keep my hair as long as possible.
I have seen people on Reddit saying it is a myth and others saying they noticed thinning after a few months. Is there any solid recent research from 2025 or 2026 that clarifies this? I do not want to sacrifice my hairline for an extra five pounds on my bench press.
Has anyone here with a family history of balding used creatine long term? I would love to hear your honest experience. I am in Toronto and I am trying to make an informed decision before I start my first cycle.
