Essential supplements

Hi, new to the board....I'm in fairly good shape but am looking to kick it up a notch and get in top shape. I have a healthy clean diet (with the occasional cheat oops) and work out about 3x a week -going to increase to 5x-6x a week. I take basic vitamins but what supplements are essential to assist with energy in workouts, muscle recovery and improving metabolism? Not looking for a weight loss pill or anything but just want to know what basic supplements I should include in my training/diet program. I've gone to GNC but I feel like they just want to sell a bunch of overpriced crap to me so I don't take their advice!
Thanks!
 
The phrase "essential supplements" is an oxymoron. They're ALL overpriced crap. The best "supplement" is a healthy, balanced diet. Nutrients from food are ALWAYS superior to anything grown in a lab.
 
wow joe is very set ih his ways.

Look the most anabolic substance in this world is FOOD but thats not what your asking.

A multi is a must for a female and glutamine is an essential building block for muscle.
Also a good protein powder is essential to aid in growth and recovery.

If you get sore or DOMS beta alanine is good for that too.

Hope i have been more help then the above.

Supplementing glutamine is great for burn victims and that's about it.
