> Bro creatine is so good my lifts go up so much! > Bro creatine is bad it'll make you bald
DOES IT MAKE YOU BALD OR NOT IS IT A MEME OR NOT I HAVE SO MUCH CREATINE JUST LYING AROUND AND I DONT KNOW IF I ACTUALLY MAKES YOU BALD OR NOT BECAUSE OF THIS STUPID MEME
Was on it for a year, 4 scoops (those mini spoons that come in the packet) per day and I would say my hair is noticeably thinner. The only thing I can attribute it to is the creatine. I was 28 at the time and disn't suffer from any form of hair loss or thinning previously. Your lifts will go up though.
Just my experience, take it for what you will.
Noah Gutierrez
Sounds like bad genetics.
I use it on and off and don't notice any difference in hair. I only take 5g though, not the suggested use looe 15 or whatever it is.
John Williams
Mirin' brain gains.
Jaxson Ortiz
No proof, but I think it'll speed up the natural hair loss. You might go bald with it, but that might mean you'd start to go bald in 5-10 years without.
Michael Morgan
They are bad, but if you took creatine and go bald at, let's say, age 50, it's safe to assume that you would have kept your hair more time. If you have good genes, that doesn't matter, though.
This.
Ryan Reed
It made my left eye twitch non stop
Ayden Moore
I did an experiment where I took 5g of creatine a day for a month and measured my hairline left, middle and right before and after. There was no noticeable difference in this time period, although my measuring might have been a bit inconsistent and there might not be any change in just a month anyways. Either way, my bodyweight went up by 3kgs while looking more full and not bloated.
Luis Parker
I have used creatine on and off for 2 years and have had seen no side effects with my hairline. Its definitely a meme
Jordan Roberts
Fucking idiot there are studies, it raises DHT levels, DHT raises male pattern baldness. Get the fuck out
Op dont risk it
Xavier Gray
There's a lot of people who think that creatine causes hair loss because they start taking creatine and then start notice hair loss. This is not a causal relationship. People take creatine when they start taking lifting at least moderately seriously. Lifting increases testosterone which accelerates natural hair line recession. Additionally, most people starting to take creatine are in their early or mid 20s, when hairline recession starts to kick in.
Ryan Myers
I would trade my hair for more gains
Nathan Hill
Oh.. so naive
Isaiah Scott
what, you wouldn't?
Aiden Carter
no dude, ask any guy that is bald in their 20s. They will kill to have hair. Im not balding or anything, im only 19 but my dad started balding at his 40s. Im not willing to risk it
Asher Sanders
Then you should just roid.
No. Having a full head of hair + regular gains >>>>>> Not having hair + slightly better than regular gains.
Nicholas Williams
>denying creatine's effect on lactic acids Fucking infidel
Jason Kelly
Sounds like you were loading the entire time, wtf.
Charles Davis
there was literally ONE study that showed raised DHT and that was only correlation not causation on some rugby or whatever players ONE study versus literally thousands of others who show no such thing you fucking subhuman balding hairlets are so pathetic
Creatine sucks out all the moisture of your body, causing your head to be dry. That causes hair loss. I found that hydration aka drinking a shitton of water doesn't fix it just makes you piss a bunch. Use some oil or butter for dry hair skin though and you will be fine.
Carter Hall
>thousands of others who show no such thing not him but there are no other Creatine studies that measure the level of DHT
Kayden Gonzalez
This is probably true but why is it creatine specifically that gets the blame and not all the other supplements
Y’all should just read the study. Taking creative increases DHT production by >56% lol even after loading. DHT is directly related to hair loss. That’s why finestride, which limits conversion of testosterone to DHT, is the most effective hair loss drug on the market.
Nigga I been balding and desu most of it was cuz of dry head skin, people shower way often these days which is why I think people go bald when they wouldn't beforehand.
If I don't moisturize I lose tons of hair as soon as my head skin is moist I can rip at my hair and it won't fall off. Don't trust me and give up a 10% performance boost just cuz you can't rub some stuff on your head after showering.
Logan Robinson
You may dudes, I've been having some form of insomnia recently where I wake up around 4pm with a dry throat. Could it be caused by creatine?
Grayson Jenkins
nah that's giving out bjs at the public train station at 3 pm
Youre not wrong, youre just retarded water weight is a side effect of creatine not its purpose
Hunter Barnes
creatine raises your iq fr
Ryder Ortiz
Creatine made my dick grow legs, it needs to work on its hip thrive
Logan Harris
Creatine killed my parents and burned my house down
Landon Ward
a month is nothing man.
Charles Jones
Creatine dindu
Kayden White
>Most studies show that the strenght increase is minimal, around 2-4% over a month.
>Keep in mind that this doesn't mean you'll look better, just that you'll be stronger.
>In fact, you'll probably become bloated.
Parker White
creatine works, deal with it.
Joshua Murphy
I've been using creatine for a year and noticed no difference, thinning, scalp-drying, or any such bullshit.
But the positives are pretty minimal too so I'm probably just going to drop it because I can't be fucked.
Brandon Parker
i added 10 kg to my working weight on the bench press within two weeks when i started using creatine
Bentley Martin
Been on it for fourish years, no change in my hair
DHT only increases baldness if your hair follicles are predisposed to balding genetically. Otherwise it's just a more bioactive version of testosterone
Anthony Long
from personal experience it makes you stronger and more endurable. on the con side. i shed hair much faster when i wash it more hair falls off. so its good, with a price to pay. take on your own risk.
Julian Martin
I have a whole family of bald men, I have been taking creatine for like 3 years and did not loose any hair
Tyler Miller
most supplements are spiked, specially non protein supplements like creatine, those have insane rates of contamination. spiked with what you ask? prohormones mostly, but also lead, arsenic and a bunch of other shit. you know what causes thinning hair and balding? prohormones creatine is an amino acid synthesized from your own body from amino acids you eat and amino acids in your own muscles, the reason why people get BALD on creatine is because the creatine they're taking is spiked.
Nolan Ramirez
it's also the most effective drug for developing perma limp dick and no gains and gyno
Justin Ortiz
it's literally what it does, it's what gives you the weight gain, it's what makes your muscles fuller salt+water+carbs will make you full and increase physical performance far more than taking fucking sand powder.
Colton Bennett
Creatine may increase the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is believed to be the hormone behind male pattern baldness in men genetically predisposed to hair loss.
Levi Harris
>mfw seeing all these balding niggers on Jow Forums in their early 20s - mid 20s >mfw grandpa from mom's side had full head of hair at age 60 >mfw dad still has full head of hair at age 50 >mfw hair is still thick and healthy as ever >mfw hair grows out easily >mfw take creatine everyday without panicking like a retard Thank God for these hair genetics
>mfw grandpa from mom's side had full head of hair at age 60 >had Enjoy losing your hair earlier.
Luke Roberts
You sound like an ugly dude.
Liam Richardson
Medfag here. No it doesn't make you bald. There is no evidence of that. Creatine monohydrate ups your phosphocreatine reserves. Phosphocreatine can be quickly dephosphorylated to convert ADP to ATP. It's basically like expanding your fuel tank a bit for anaerobic exercise. Your muscles don't get as tired on the first few reps and you have more power overall. It also draws water into your cells more because it's an osmotically active particle so your muscles get a big bigger from water weight but also from the increased training frequency you can endure because you're stronger. It also improves some neurological function but that's not as noticable in healthy individuals. I use creatine myself and it boosted all my lifts for about 10-15% when I first started it. Just don't take more than 5 g per day and DONT FORGET TO HYDRATE.
If I eat the whole bottle of creatine, would I get bald?
Alexander Gutierrez
It accelerates baldness, there is no doubt about that.
Earlier if you are a genelet.
Carson Gutierrez
just buy some DHT blockers, women love that shit
Ryan Lopez
Were you using creatine by itself, or using a supplement (pre-work out) that had Creatine in it?
Brody Wilson
Creatine makes your dick shrink don't fall for it!
Levi Robinson
My friend has been taking creatine for 5 years every day and his hairline is exactly the same. Creatine is also in most meats, eggs, and dairy. So even if it is bad for you are you going to stop eating these foods too? If not then just use it if you think it will help with your gains.
Chase Thomas
But the amount is very low compared to creatine's.
Ryan Perez
Take the hcl version and dont take too much you'll be fine.
