    No, it will just take slightly longer for your muscles to become saturated, but nothing significant.

    If you are taking 5-10 grams a day (one serving a day) it should be less than 3 weeks. Here's a research summary, but remember the group that did not load were only taking 3 grams a day, but had the same creatine levels as the loading group within a few weeks.
