Lets first establish that 98% of supplements are utterly-trash and a waste of money.
Most are marketing gimmicks targeted towards naive people.
“Lose 10lbs in 7 days with this pill”
Yeah, riiiight. And the sky is purple.
So... here’s 5 actually beneficial ones

1. Whey protein
If you struggle with hitting your protein goal everyday, I suggest taking 1-2 scoops of whey protein.
It's not a protein meal replacement, its to simply help increase your protein intake when you struggle to eat enough.
I take 2 scoops daily. Works like magic.

2. Collagen protein
Collagen is the main structural protein in various connective tissues throughout your body
Things like your hair, nails, skin, tendons, and ligaments will all benefit greatly
I add 1 scoop (10g collagen) to my protein shake daily
Awesome stuff!

4. Creatine
Creatine is one I recommend for those trying (and struggling) to put on size.
Creatine helps your muscle cells produce more energy to get in those extra few reps that really lead to muscle growth.
Also great for high intensity exercise performance (cough, athletes)

5. Magnesium
One of the best in my opinion, is magnesium.
It is involved in over 600 reactions in your body like energy creation, muscle formation, nervous system regulation, etc

6. Vitamin D3
Majority of my followers are from North America, so this involves many of you!
Approx 30-40% of the US & Canada population is vitamin D3 deficient
Combining this supplement + getting outside for more sunshine can do numbers for your hormones (like testosterone!)

7. Runner up: BCAA’s
Especially in a fasted state, BCAA's are fantastic at preventing muscle breakdown and helping improve muscle synthesis.
They also help reduce muscle soreness and exercise fatigue.
I used to take these in a fasted state before I workout, but not recently
