It also helps with oxidative stress.

It can also serve as the backup fuel tank for your mitochondria.

So potentially it's especially useful in men in even their teenage years and their 20s.

In each individual,

preventing hair loss is a very poor reason to take creatine because it's not going to take you to a supra-physiologic level.

It's not going to increase your androgens to an unnormal level of binding.

So I feel like if that was a reason to not take creatine for hair loss, then that's- Sorry, you mean hair loss is not a reason to avoid taking creatine?

Correct.

Hair loss is not a reason to avoid taking creatine.

Think of it as just-

bringing you to what you are naturally inclined to have.

If your conversion of testosterone to DHT is already high, then often creatine does not affect this.

It just kind of resets your balance between testosterone being aromatized to estrogen or being 5-alpha reduced to DHT.

So it's not going to speed up hair loss more than just naturally being a male does.

So in some individuals, it will have no effect.

In some individuals, for whatever reason, they have almost no 5-alpha reductase activity.

It will return them to natural or normal.

Another one we can loop in with creatine is betaine.
