The greatest gain from supplements isn't anything that actually goes into your body, it is the mental or placebo effect. For me I take a stack, I throw some money at some company and it for some reason just makes me that much more amped up to hit the gym. I know it is really weird, but it works, so I keep doing it.
I notice a 20% increase in my lifts when I am taking a stack. That also probably coincides with the fact I am nearing my lift off date and getting more and more excited. If you research the proper suppies and stick to the Canadian regulations you will find a lot of good ones that won't hurt you, so if you have the extra cash why not.
But always make sure you have your diet first. I also laugh at the meal timing and frequency of that chart. That is a greater urban legend than suppies make you ripped.

Try intermittent fasting... I swear by it. I was able to get rid of stubborn fat around my waist in 2 and half months, whereas I was not able to when eating 5-6 small meals a day.
