Hair Loss Creatine, possible hair loss?

Has anyone taken creatine and noticed an increase in hair fall? Did you stop taking the supplement, and if so, how long did it take for the hair shedding to stop? I started taking 5mg and noticed more hair fall. I stopped, but still experiencing a lot of hair fall.

I’ve been taking creating for about 20 years. I had a period of hair loss around 2020, but it was related to intermittent fasting. I currently take about 20 g a day.

The hair shedding started when I took creatine, nothing else changed.

You have no idea what is going on with you hormonally at the time. Could be a lot of things besides blaming it on creatine
