Mark's Daily Apple Wednesday, May 18, 2022 12:00 PM More Questions on Creatine       Creatine is an extremely popular supplement with thousands of studies attesting to its effectiveness in humans. It works well in athletes, older people, women, men, teens, vegans and vegetarians, and probably even children. It's well-tested, safe in normal amounts, and there are very few downsides. But because so many people use it, creatine also generates a lot of questions. Every time I do a post on creatine, I get more queries in my inbox. Does it cause hair loss? How much should you take every day? Is there a good time to take it? Will creatine make you gain weight? And is creatine bad for the kidneys? What about side effects—anything we should worry about? Let's dig right in and answer those questions. Does creatine cause hair loss? This is a persistent concern, but there's not much solid research lending credence to it. The majority of the "evidence" lies in an older study where college rugby players took creatine for a few weeks and saw their dihydrotestosterone, or DHT, rise over baseline. (The placebo control group saw no rise in DHT). DHT is a more active or potent form of testosterone that has powerful anabolic effects. It can also bind to hair follicles and cause them to shrink, reducing your ability to support a dense, healthy head of hair. However, the creatine group had lower DHT levels at baseline, so it may be that the creatine was simply correcting lower starting levels. Other studies on creatine and testosterone have failed to find any consistent links between creatine and higher testosterone, free testosterone (from which DHT is produced), or DHT itself. Finally, there are no studies showing that taking creatine causes hair loss. It's not impossible or even improbable. It simply hasn't been definitively shown. Anecdotally, some people notice hair loss after starting creatine, but those are the toughest connections to draw without a control group and good methodology. Would they have lost the hair anyway? Were there other factors at play? How much creatine per day? There are two basic strategies people commonly employ. If you want to speed creatine uptake in the muscles, you can do a "loading phase" of 20 grams a day (split up into 4 doses) for a week before dropping down to 3 to 5 grams a day. If you don't, you can just take 3 to 5 grams a day from the get-go. Both strategies work just fine. If you have a lot of muscle mass—and thus higher creatine storage capacities—or if you burn through a lot of creatine with intense activity, you might benefit from larger daily doses in the 8 to 10 grams range. Once you've been taking creatine consistently enough at high enough doses to saturate your muscle stores (20 grams a day for 5 to 7 days, or 3 to 5 grams a day for 28 days, to give two common examples), you can probably get away with "cycling" your creatine. Taking days off, doing lower doses here and there. … Continue reading "More Questions on Creatine" The post More Questions on Creatine appeared first on Mark's Daily Apple.
