As you know,: creatine turns into creatine phosphate in the body and helps make ATP, a energy source for muscles. Evidence of its effectiveness is mixed: may help for short period of athletic activity; not for endurance. As with all supplements, their manufacture is not regulated. Most people can take with no problem, but I would stop and see if hair loss situation improves. Good wishes:)
