Reply With QuoteProtein powder and creatine is a pretty standard idea. In regards to the creatine, I prefer any sort of the 'micronized' variety -- it dissolves quicker than, say, the GNC brand.
Aside from that, I recommend returning the program and utilizing conventional programming. For details, thoroughly read through this thread: P90x

p90x and supplements
I'm 6'3", 210 lbs and 40 years old. I haven't been "active" consistently since my mid-20's. I have ordered the p90x with the p90plus program and plan on following the training and nutrition as prescribed. I did not order their supplements. What supplements should I be using? Based on what I've read it looks like Nitrix, E.A.S. Myoplex, Myoswell (creatine) and a good multivitamin. Is this close to even being right? I don't want to add much, if any weight, just get ripped and in shape. Thanks.

You can swap out the beachbody brand supps for standard ones such as whey, creatine and carbohydrates & BCAA's
I'd personally throw in a joint formula for all the plyo which is high impact from my experience.

I've been doing a P90X / Insanity workout for almost 5 months and personally use the following:
Recovery Drink - Chocolate Milk with micronized Creatine
Multi Vitamin
Fish Oil
Joint Supplement
I tried L-Glutamine and Arginine but did not see or feel any difference from when I was not using them.
