    Well first u need to be doing a good weight program, if u are doing ur weights in the mouring or early in the after noon u will proberly need just the 3 supplements a tri-blend creatine, take this b4 ur workout, whey protein isolate (WPI) not whey protein concentrate(WPC), take this strait after ur workout and u can mix it in with some fruit like a smoothy or something and just b4 u go to bed take some Casein protein powder, this is a time release protien and should be taken with milk to help slow down the absorbtion, this will give protein to ur muscles throughout the night, or if u cant afford casien WPC does basically the same thing just bit cheaper,

    if u do ur weight session just b4 bed all u need is that creatine to take b4 ur session and a WPI/WPC blend to take after providing that is when u are goin to bed, also u cant bulk up if u are planning to eat junk food or have no respect for what goes in ur mouth like alcahol ect, just try and stick to natural foods this will help u more than most supplements 😀

    No you do not "need" them. They merely make attaining your nutritional requirements much easier than through whole foods.

    The much-agreed upon list of important supplements are (in order)
    1) Whey Protein
    2) Multi Vitamin
    3) Gluatamine

    You stated that you just started weight training. I wouldn’t bother with the supplements yet (save the cash). You should be focusing on educating yourself (there is a lot to know if you want to succeed), and making sure you are taking in more calories every day than your body is spending (if not, no muscle gain)

    Good luck
