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
