If you do a quick search on the internet for supplements you will get TONS of information. There is always a new supplement out there and you never know what is in it because the FDA does not check. If a protein bar says it has 30 grams of protein and it is super tiny, you need to ask yourself how this is possible. Chances are the claims are false.
Below I have listed the things that have worked for me in the past and have worked for others. These supplements are considered by most people to be safe, just drink lots of water.
Whey Protein
Optimum Nutrition seems to be the best bang for your buck. They overshoot the protein content I believe but it contains roughly 90% of the stated protein. Note most brands contain nowhere near as much.
Vitamin E, Zinc, and a Multivitamin
No, Flintstones chewables don't count. Do they still make those?
Fish Oil Caps
The benefits have been proven time and time again.
Creatine
Kind of an optional one here. If you are lifting heavy and hard go for it, just drink tons of water.
Obviously there are other things that probably work as well, but I like to keep it safe when it comes to this kind of thing.
