There are many different opinions but the FT nutrition link below fairly well sums up what's often been said and IMO most agree. There are always more but simple is often better and it's easier to stick with the basics.

The protein is a must, and instead of cell-tech you can just use the normal creatine in the white powder form, it would be just as good. I haven't heard of the third one, so I can't comment on it. In my opinion all you really need if you want to use supplements is a multivitamin, creatine, protein, and glutamine if you want. These are all the basics in order to acheive muscle growth.

Cell-tech is just regular creatine with lots of sugar added. Basically, Muscletech has devised a way to charge inane amounts of money for sugar :) The idea being that the sugar acts as a transport system to really push the creatine into your muscles. However you can achieve the same affect by simply mixing your creatine with a sweet sugar drink, such as grape juice.

Everyone is leaving the 3rd one alone. You are speaking of Dimetradine Extreme by AST I am sure. This is killer stuff! Want to increase your bench 10 lbs. the first day, how about your squat 20 lbs. This stuff will give you one kick ass boost in the gym. Take it about 45 min. before training.

Sure, readily sold over the counter most anywhere. Along the lines of fat burners, but much more. Be careful if you can't handle the jitters though. I had to time it so it was just taking effect as I started warming up.

Like the other members mentioned before, protein is definitely a must, however, I''m talking about most supplements when I say this...it doesn't really matter what works for other people when it comes to supplements and proteins. Different brands react differently in different people. My suggestion is do your research on a few different brands and try them at different points in time to find which on works best for you.
