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 a compound that is made primarily in the liver and then transported to your muscles, where it is used as an energy source for muscle activity. Once in the muscle, some of the creatine is spontaneously converted to creatinine. The amount of both creatine and creatinine depend on muscle mass, so men usually have higher levels than women. Creatine is now available as a dietary supplement.
