I heard creatine raises dht. so can the ingredient sodium lauroyl sarcosinate raise dht since its derived from creatine. it's in my facial cleanser. ?

Oral supplements: ...of creatine can increase DHT levels. DHT is, in a sense, a more potent male hormone than testosterone. Along with strength training, it may increase muscle mass and strength. Laurel succinate is a breakdown product of creatine but the surfactant SLS doesn't occur naturally. Synthesized SLS absorption from skin is negligible & unlikely to increase DHT levels in the body. Helpful?
