Creatine With Finasteride. Opinions?

[rryan89]

Im really into bodybuilding and currently take finasteride 1 mg. Never had any problems with gains due to the finasteride. My question is do you guys personally think creatine is worth the risk for hair loss? There has never really been any proven scientific evidence, except for that one small rugby study, and anecdotal evidence from users. Personally, I really like the way creatine fills out your muscles due to the water retention within the muscle itself. I believe over time that the 1-2 extra reps you get from creatine can make a difference in the long run to your physique. Im just so conflicted on whether its worth it or not.

So, any other fitness fanatics on this thread, do you think creatine causes an acceleration of hair loss? Is it worth the possible risk based on the lack of evidence? Is this negligible when taking finasteride? Thanks guys.

I took that stuff when I was in my late 30's I had no idea it could affect hair loss. Saw the doctor who asked if I was taking supplements told him about the creatine and that was the last time I took it !!
Fortunately in my opinion everything that dropped did grow back over the next 12 months
Bin the idea immediately if your hair is important

Any other opinions or personal experiences from people who have used creatine and finasteride at the same time?

i use dutasteride and creatine together, no noticeable increase in shedding and i have very aggressive hair loss. I don't get much creatine from my regular diet however.
