If you are trying to gain muscles mass, the answer is both, but more so, one in the morning, one after your workout and one 30 min before bed. If your workout is in the evening, take one mid afternoon.
Without doing much, you could start by reading Mens Health and Muscle & Fitness Magazines. Both are published by Joe Weider Inc. Both have great workout routines in them and advice on diet, fitness, health, supplementation.
I would reccomend that you start by hitting the weight room, 4-5 times per week. Lifting with Compund exercies first, then isolation exercises. 4-5 sets of each, with 1-2 of them being warm up exercises. 9-12 rep range is good for muscle mass, and definition and stamina. Rest each body part 4-7 days. So if you do Chest on monday, dont do it till at least friday.
When it comes to supplementation you will use the minimum:
1 multi vitamin pill per day
tribulus
Whey protein or whey protein isolate. Depending on allergies, you may want to use a Soy protein. you should use 2-3 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight in your daily diet to gain muscle (you still need to lift weights though and stick with it. It takes a long long time. It took me 2 years to put on 35 pounds of muscle.) Take some in the morning when you wake up, mid day, and as part of your post workout drink.
I would also reccomend taking L-Glutamine as part of your post workout routine.
Take something with creatine. This stuff is well documented. I would reccomend BSN Nutrition NOxplode. IT has creatine, arginine, and others as well as nitric oxide. Take this for your pre workout routine, about 30-45 minutes before your workout. It takes awhile for your body to absorb the creatine.
That should be the core of your supplement routine. Do not rely on the protein powder to get you all of your protein in a day.
Remember to do cardio at least 3 times a week 60-75% of your max heart rate (MHR) which is 220-your age. for about 30 min each session. If i do legs, I do cardio after. Sometimes I will split it, 15-20 min before, 15-20 min after. You have to burn the fat to show your hard work!!
Do abs at least 3 times a week. focus more on form and crunching the muscle, than how many reps you do.
THis should help.

Protein shakes, but it is not as simple as just taking a supplement. I would recommend vising a website like http://www.bodybuilding.com to get more info on bodybuilding, diet, and supplements.

Steroids have been shown to have adverse sexual side effects. Protein and Createin (which are primarily the two substnaces you're asking about) have no such properties. That being said, 6" on a slight fellow looks like a lot more than 6" on a buff body builder.

If you're eating well, you won't need any supplements. This is such a big market, they're making alot of money on things that you really don't need. If you're eating meals pretty well you won't need extra protein either, most Americans get way too much of protein. If anything take a multiple vitamin to make sure you're getting enough nutrients. Hope this helps........

Creatine and HMB are great together. Whey protein is good too.
The best thing you can do to build muscle is have a good nutritionous diet along with good quality sleep in addition to your workout program.
