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.
Research has shown that the most rapid way to increase muscle creatine stores is to follow the loading method, by taking 0.3 grams/kg/day of creatine monohydrate for 5 to 7 days (e.g., 5 grams taken four times per day). Studies show that this rate can increase muscle creatine.
