Awesome supplement recommendations?

Food   - gives you everything you could possibly need.

No supplements really work any better than food. Maybe whey protein and hydrolyzed collagen if you struggle to consume the true optimal protein requirement of 100g per day. Maybe creatine if you're older or don't eat red meat, but make sure it's high quality, as it's super cheap anyway and you don't want to risk contaminants -- from what I remember, unflavored CreaPure checks out, fwiw. Maybe 1 fish oil cap (not the full dose) on some days, but not every day. Perhaps a fraction of the recommended dose of a good multivitamin (for instance, one made by Pure Encapsulations), every now and then.

Supplements besides the above can be useful in certain obscure situations, but only if you have an absurd amount of holistic bio-nutritive knowledge. To say everything affects everything else is as true as it gets. Knowledge is power in this field, but incomplete knowledge is dangerous -- it helps to think of everything as a web.

For instance, a quick example:

Appetite too high for your liking and you want to reduce it without taking, say, d-amphetamine? Well, that's laughably easy to accomplish... Take 2-4g L-histidine base on an empty stomach up to twice a day. This will lower appetite tremendously. However, it will bind/complex-with and can deplete zinc, cause copper toxicity, cause liver stress, and increase your risk of ulcers in the long term and/or at too high of a dose -- all that can be ameliorated with other interventions. It can also decrease inflammation and oxidative stress -- not necessarily a good thing unless you really know what you're doing.
