My guy is looking for a muscle-building supplement... help?

My fiance' is looking for a good muscle-building supplement, and I was wondering if you guys have any suggestions.
He knows that there's no such thing as a magic bullet when it comes to building muscle, and there's no such thing as a pill or supplement that will put on muscle overnight. He used to be muscular, so muscle memory will come into play as well, but he's just looking for something that will help it along a little bit.
He just wants to make sure that he gets a legit product, because there's so many fake products out there.
He refuses to drink shakes and the like... so I'm just looking for something in pill form.
Thanks! :flowerforyou:

My hubby says that all the good pills have been banned. But, taking BCAA supplements (amino acids) is helpful.

Some of the key factors to building muscle (and we are talking "bulking" not just toning) are making sure to take in enough protein every day and especially right after a workout, not eating at a calorie deficit, rest (giving each muscle group time to rest between each workout AND getting enough sleep)

OK, just did a quick search and found this:
