Does ingesting creatine powder or capsules cause hair loss?
I have read conflicting claims (e.g., see below) and wonder whether there have been some more serious scientific studies:
http://seannal.com/articles/supplementation/creatine-hair-loss.php (mirror) is inconclusive:
I personally don’t consider this one study to be a serious cause for alarm because of the points I mentioned above, but it’s up to you to weigh out the possibilities for yourself.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19741313 (mirror):
Creatine supplementation may, in part, act through an increased rate of conversion of T to DHT. Further investigation is warranted as a result of the high frequency of individuals using creatine supplementation and the long-term safety of alterations in circulating androgen composition.
https://examine.com/nutrition/does-creatine-cause-baldness/ (mirror):
Creatine has been implicated once in increasing DHT. The study has not been replicated, and direct studies between creatine and hair loss have not been conducted
