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

@JamesGrage 2 ай бұрын

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 2 ай бұрын

@@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

Does creatine and the increased DHT affect the prostate?

@JamesGrage 2 ай бұрын

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.

What creatine do you suggest for a newbie?

@JamesGrage 2 ай бұрын

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

What is your opinion on taking EAA supplements?

@JamesGrage 2 ай бұрын

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 2 ай бұрын

@@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?

Washing the face and keeping clean would help reduce acne.

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

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
