What are the most essential supplements?

[forgotten1]

Just the basic essentials.
Right now, I'm only taking protein and a multi-vitamin. Any suggestions, or just stick with what I have. I don't wanna do the creatine thing.

vitamins should be on everyones list.

 

[MsBeverlyHills]

whey, flaxseed oil, Vit C- 1000mg, Vit E- 400 IU, L-glutamine, ephedra-free hydroxcut.

no glutamine! Glutamine shows promise in vitro, but in vivo nothing happens. That's because during the studies they were injecting it directly... when you actually ingest glutamine something like 0% of it actually gets to the bloodsteam. So, unless you want to start shooting glutamine...

I don't mean to jump in and correct harshly... I just think that the supplement industries is one of the most crooked of any, and I don't want to see people waste money.

Oh and before I forget here's some good stuff on supplements:

Before developing HST, Bryan Haycock was employed by supplement industries to provide the science to support their products. He says he quickly quit because in most cases, there was none and he had moral issues with it

CasualBB- yeah Ive heard that before, but in my case L-glut has helped w/muscle recovery & repair...not everyone responds the same to suppliments, its just sort of hit & miss...but theres no downside to trying L-glut (except spending the $$$).
