Huberman Lab Clips(@HLPClips):There is no evidence creatine causes hair loss: - One study showed a marginal increase in dihydrotestosterone. People linked DHT to hair loss and assumed creatine was the cause - Midlife hair loss is progestin-driven. Fluctuating progesterone exacerbates any hair loss already there - At 3-5 g per day you will gain a few pounds of water stored inside the muscle. Not subcutaneous bloat - Some women on the lower 3 g dose gain no water at all Dr. Stacy Sims on @hubermanlab
