Preventing hair loss.
Hello,  Ive recently started taking creatine and and I'm concerned about hair loss. I've been doing some research and it was brought to my attention that creatine causes an increase of Dihydrotestosterone in your body. Androgen synthesized in the hair follicles can become a barrier between your hair and hair follicles receiving the nutrients necessary to promote and sustain hair growth, therefore resulting in hair loss. There are many contradicting sources and I want to get to the bottom of it. My question to you is, does it really cause hair loss? If it does is there any way to counter it with vitamins? Or Should I stop talking it..

You may be suffering from androgenic alopecia which is also called as pattern baldness. The hairs start reducing in density at the crown (top) and also the hairline starts receeding  from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. It is usually accompanied by severe dandruff which we call seborrhoea. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is the best. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised  and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects of DHT on the hair roots. Please call me or  contact me with photos using online consult option for proper examination and treatment. Do not start treatment without consulting. I can give guidance and then you can continue treatment on your own.
