    I always take:

    Vits
    BCAA's
    iso protein
    casein protein
    no xplode

    Maybe I would take some taurine too to take if I try albuterol

    Not sure what else I would really need.

    it's a radical anti oxydent. Life extenders are fanatical about it.

    one man's "necessary" is another man's "optional".

    I would take, and do take, bcaa's

    (before I take glutamine)

    I've taken gluatimine previously. but the last kg, when it ran out, i didn't bother to get another.

    Bro truthfully you can get all your nutrients from food alone. If you eat enough and only clean foods your body will repair itself and won't need anything else.

    There are lots of guys who only eat a clean diet and are ripped up and strong. If you get enough protein through whole foods there is no need for a "stack" of supplement's. Spend that money on beer and girls if your in college.

    Protein is Protein. US doesn't have a monopoly on it. To have loads of size you need to eat loads of food. Learn how to eat properly that is the #1 priority for someone looking to get in shape and/or bigger.

    Its real easy to get caught up in taking too many supps(guilty!!), but as many have said eating well will provide you with most.

    Multi
    vit d
    vit c
    krill oil
    super digestive enzyme
    dhea
    pregnenolone
    milk thistle
    Whey
    thats whats on my counter now! Bcaas and reservatol is something I should look into, recently became a fan of life extension products!

    If your diet is on point I think that's the only time supps are appropriate anyways

    I think protein powder is a good investment regardless of how you eat though
