No, your reception is fine. What you're experiencing is sound attenuation, the loss of energy from sound waves. Basically, attenuation is a damping of sound, an interruption that diminishes the volume and quality of the sound wave.
No, this is not necessary. A mere 3 grams of creatine per day for 28 days results in the same muscle content of creatine as that of a six day load program. Thus, if you wanted to get off creatine, it would take about a month to reach normal muscle stores.
However, the research has determined that the body does not make enough creatine for optimum muscle growth and strength performance; the body only makes about 1 to 3 grams of creatine per day. In fact, dietary creatine has always been an important source of supplemental creatine.
