Creatine supplementation causes hair loss in men.

Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that creatine supplementation causes hair loss in men?

No. A 2021 systematic review reports the body of evidence does not indicate creatine supplementation causes hair loss or raises DHT, and a 2025 12-week randomized controlled trial in young males found no differences in DHT or hair follicle measures versus placebo, explicitly refuting the claim.
