    I supplement my veggies with a 13 oz piece of chicken breast usually! Other than that, I pop a multivitamin and a B12 complex,(if that counts) when I remember. I'd die if my life depended on taking a pill. I always forget them, no matter what I do. I've tried keeping them bedside, I've tried bathroom, I've even kept them next to the coffee pot, I still always forget them.

    Im fairly new to this but I wanted to hit the ground running and make the best out of what I put in so I started with :-

    Morning: Multi vitamins & Glutamine

    Pre workout: Taurine & BCAA

    Post workout: BCAA

    Lunch: Glutamine

    Bed: multi vitamins & Glutamine

    The day may be mixed with Whey protein shakes as I needed them to fill out my diet requirements.
    Also at 8am, 12am, 4pm & 8pm id have Beta Alanine.

    Several weeks in I decided to try Creatine and read that it clashes with Glutamine as they both fight over the same delivery receptors. So while taking Creatine I stopped Glutamine.

    Later I swapped over my whey protein to MASS-TECH protein shake to help boost my Calorie intake. This has most of the above in it as it is so I adjust what im having depending on my shake intake.

    Also I try and eat a lot!!

    This is all you need....
    -Coffee (cheaper than pre workouts and better for you)
    -Food (stop whining how you can't eat enough)
    -Hard consistent work (I mean hard; doesn't have to be long)
    -Recovery

    Source: I'm 5'10 190lbs 15-17% body fat; from 155 11-13% BF, I do a **** load of Hiit and cardio on top of Powerlifting. I was 210lbs of pure lard a few years back and couldn't even bench 95lbs, or run a quarter of a mile, and it looked like crap. Unless you are living in a concentration camp; this has been shown to work; these four thing will get you 95-99% of the gains you may receive; supplements are a complete waste unless you are looking to be Mr. Heath or Ed Coan and "need" that 1% edge (plus the extra 10% from steroids). Basically; get these four things down first; then add in supplements if you REALLY think you "need" them. As you can tell; I strongly discourage supplement use (multivitamin and fish oil, maybe creatine are the exceptions). And I can tell you Glutamine does almost zilch compared to proper nutrition and mobility work; and BCAA's? Why? You can get enough through food (creatine as well). Also; you can get ALL the protein you need for optimum gains through plant sources; you don't need whey at all unless you eat all your carbs through pop tarts. 0.5-0.8g protein per pound is seriously all you need for optimum progress.

    Re creatine: you cannot get enough creatine from food to be 'optimal', especially of you do not eat (much) meat.

    (Remember, I'm 45 with a history of orthopaedic surgeries with metallic instrumentation) I lift heavy in the gym, (compound exercises) and do hiit and controlled fatigue training, alternating for 5-6 days per week, on a keto adaptation plan. My goal is to become fat adapted, and I have trouble getting all my calories/macros, so:

    Gold standard whey
    Creatine
    Biotin (just trying out some recovery crap with this in it)
    C
    B50
    Multi vitamin (I use the over 50 formulation)
    Magnesium
    Potassium
    Calcium
    Lecithin
    Super krill
    Glucosamine and chondroitin
