Creatine monohydrate after hair transplant

Question

i just had my hair transplant 4 months ago and and i have always been a fitness freak, i do use supplements such as protein, BCAA. i used to use Creatine monohydrate and it has been one of my favorite supplements to use but then i came across some studies which say it raises your DHT levels which causes hair loss. i want to know if we have some solid studies which support their claims or is it just a bro science, im afraid using it might cause my existing hair to fall. thank you :)

Specific medical and supplement uses should be discussed with your doctor especially if you are not sure how the medication may affect your results.

Sara Salas, MD · Answer

Creatine monophosphate is perfectly ok. The only body building chemicals that accelerate hairloss iare anabolic steroids.

Ben Talei, MD · Answer

Creatine does help convert testosterone into a more active form. There is no evidence that creatine has any correlation with hair loss. However if you are using creatine long term and in higher quantities make sure to monitor your liver on a regular basis.

The use of Creatine after a hair transplant is not a problem provided that there are no steroids in the powder
