School me on supplements

If your dietary intake is sufficient, you really don't need supplements. Most likely you might take the basics like a multivitamin and another for omega 3/6/9 fatty acids.

I honestly haven't researched supplements in 10+ years, but I think creatine (found in meat) is a good one. At that time, EAS was one of the leading edge companies, but so much has changed over the years that I wouldn't know where to really begin.

The thing you have to really ask yourself before starting any supplements is determining what your goals are, what methods you'll use in terms of working out (P90, weights, cardio, etc), and what type of diet you'll have in order to determine exactly what will be of benefit. You'll find a LOT of the products on the market today are pure crap as they're not regulated by the FDA and can pretty much make whatever claim they want.
