❌ Myth: Creatine causes hair loss.
But wait, where did this myth even come from? 🤔
The rumor stems from a small 2009 study on 20 rugby players. While that study did observe an increase in DHT (a hormone that is strongly associated with male pattern baldness) after a high-dose loading phase, there is important context that often gets left out: The players' DHT levels fluctuated, but still stayed within normal physiological ranges.
In short, creatine did not cause any hair loss and the data was completely misconstrued.
✅ Here is what the evidence actually suggests:
Over the last 15+ years, multiple clinical studies have examined creatine, and none have shown that it causes hair loss.
Taking one sentence out of context is exactly how wellness myths start. As with any health and wellness topics, always look at the full body of evidence, not just a headline!
