If so I want YOUR experiences?
Last time I took it was in 2007....I was still a teen and hadnt even really begun to GROW. So what's the verdict? Is it worth giving another try?

Many seems like an understatement considering there are literally hundreds of studies validating its effectiveness.
themondoshow, it's safe to say that creatine is the most proven supplement on the market for increasing strength and building muscle. If it doesn't work for you, then you are either a member of the small group referred to as non-responders, or you are not recognizing that your muscles are gradually becoming capable of performing a little bit more work. Give it another shot and make sure you take the proper daily dose.

Well, consumers also buy glutamine with the belief that it will help them build muscle. It goes without saying that in the absence of a training program, nothing can build muscle, but creatine is primarily used by people training to build muscle. It does improve anaerobic capacity, allowing a person to lift more weight and/or perform more reps, which assists in building muscle. Plus the bb.com store calls creatine "the muscle-building king" haha. Is there any supplement available to consumers that is more effective for building muscle?

Non-responders have a physiological profile that prohibits the uptake of creatine and that issue should be looked at medically. I'd venture to say 25% is way high of an estimate, although I know it was published at some point.
I can do amazing things for your body composition. PM for more info.

I'd say its worth a purchase
personally consume 5-10 grams daily & notice improved strength-endurance & recovery capacity
TIP: get pure creatine, no flavors or other ingredientsThe muscles i value most are the ones directly surrounding the spine, the hips, the scapula, the femur and the tibia... in that order.
Basically the whole body minus chest and biceps... pretty much the opposite of what your local gym looks like on a typical Monday.

It potentially does more than that. Short term use doesn't seem to affect myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic protein synthesis but it does seem to turn/enhance some myogenic regulatory pathways in the muscle which may be part of the reason for the enhanced adapations to resistance exercise over longer periods of time. It also improves upon training induced satellite cell and myonuclei number during the first few months of use (effect of training experience variable unknown). Increased muscle IGF-1 mRNA (unknown if protein translation is also increased) The cellular hydration also does have an anti-catabolic affect in some studies but not others. The actual physiological relevance of these need more study though.
