Its very informative. My skin is acne prone and it took me 4 years to make it a glass glowing acne FREE skin my 20% medication and 80% lifestyle. I just started creatine mono like 8 days ago....i go with GNC and took only 2g. I noticed i am developing some small acne around mouth chin area and below nose back and forth for about a month...got scared. But then i noticed the moisturizer i have been using for past month is expired ages ago. Though i use it for like 3 4 times a week only. I am going to take creatine for a month and will see if it was my cream or creatine. Btw i take almost no sugar, balanced diet, and 1 gallon of water a day for past 8 years now.

Thanks a lot for these past creatine related videos, they were really helpful. Keep up the good work!

[@JamesGrage]

Thank you my friend! I appreciate it

[@ferdinandrodriguez7756]

Excellent video. You're the only one I've seen that actually took the time to explain this subject in detail.

[@JamesGrage]

I appreciate it!

[@Cocob3war3]

Great timing, thanks James, about to start my first creatine loading phase... Great information

[@JamesGrage]

You're very welcome!

How’s your hair doing now, Coco?

[@Cocob3war3]

@@atwajesper9434 mate, I lost my hair years ago lol😂

[@capi5169]

makes me cautious that under most videos about creatine ppl report accelerated hair loss. I think I'm gonna wait for more research

[@JamesGrage]

Hey my friend. It's understandable to be cautious. With that said, I think it's highly unlikely, based on all the current research, that your average person will experience hair loss due to creatine. I think what I said at minute 6:45 in the video is more likely the cause. My comment certainly hit a nerve with some people because I rarely see this amount of "unlikes" on a video

[@capi5169]

@@JamesGrage thanks a lot for your input. I use your resistance band traing advice on a regular basis. I'm just really cautious about supplements in general. hair loss and acne are also sensitive topics for a lot of people so maybe that's why you experience more negative feedback this time

[@DanielEdwards-xm5ct]

Thank you very much. This was an awesome video that really cleared up all the information on the effects of creatine on testosterone, with a no biased approach, It really shows you care for your viewers.

[@GeorgeChal77]

With all due respect Mr. Grage would you put your signature under a contract that would guarantee that no hair thinning/ hair loss can be caused by creatine in every single human? Probably not. I appreciate you but you speak from a safe standpoint as you're predispositioned not to experience any hair loss until your 50s. From my experience if you're predispositioned it accelerates the process

[@ryanandrous765]

Great video!

[@Greg29]

Does creatine and the increased DHT affect the prostate?

[@JamesGrage]

I think it’s unlikely that creatine would increase DHT levels enough to be meaningful but it’s always best to have your physician regularly monitor DHT levels and prostate health.

Thank you 👍👍 great video!!!!

Thanks!

Love your videos man

What is your opinion on taking EAA supplements?

[@JamesGrage]

I'm personally a big fan of EAA's. There's only a few nutrients that are "essential" and EAAs are on that list. I'll be doing some videos on it soon. Let me know if there's specific questions you think I should address..

[@taomahNEGEV]

@@JamesGrage Thanks. Looking forward to that video. I'm most curious about if you can take EAAs in with such whole food as full eggs or meat like chicken/turkey breast or wild caught salmon. If you are to take EAA supplements when is the best time to take it? Are the whey protein powder supplements or the pure EAA powder / tablets a better EAA source?

[@reyesalain2271]

I break out on creatine 😡😡and i fucking hate it had to get off it

[@rodrigogonzalez-c7v]

Thank you James

[@JamesGrage]

Anytime! 👊

[@chrisweber5041]

What creatine do you suggest for a newbie?

[@JamesGrage]

So next video I'll compare different types of creatine supplements and give my recommendation 0 but the short answer is look for a micronized creatine monohydrate. I prefer brands that use the German made Creapure. In the video I'll explain why

[@QuarterZipBro]

Washing the face and keeping clean would help reduce acne.

[@Dad_of_War]

really? that's an incredible discovery, you should write an article on that.

The hair loss and acne is due to testosterone increase

[@JamesGrage]

I gather you didn’t have a chance to watch the video

[@dimitarjackson5562]

@@JamesGrageyes man but creatine does cause acne and hair loss. Most guys I know experienced hair loss at least. I tried it too for 2 months and my hair started falling down like neverrrr before! So, please, listen to people as well.
