Attenuation of Sound Waves. When sound travels through a medium, its intensity diminishes with distance. In idealized materials, sound pressure (signal amplitude) is only reduced by the spreading of the wave. Natural materials, however, all produce an effect which further weakens the sound.
There is no established dose. Many different dosages of creatine supplements have been used in studies. For athletic performance, some people start with 10 grams to 30 grams of creatine a day. This is followed by a maintenance dose of 2 grams to 5 grams of creatine a day. Natural food sources of creatine include meat, poultry, and fish.
Creatine is both synthesized in the body and derived from foods such as milk, red meat, and some fish. Adults need to synthesize and ingest a total of about 2 grams of creatine daily to make up for the urinary loss of creatinine, the breakdown product of creatine.
