So far I sometimes take protein shakes, glutamine, creatine. Used to take some multivitamins but have stopped. What are the best vitamins to take and in what doses?
Please don't suggest any steroids or hormone modifiers or anything like that as I'm not interested.

Personally, I find the protein powders that have 50/50 protein and carbs better than those that have 80-90% protein. Too much protein without the carbs can make you feel sluggish and tired. Creatine is best taken with hi sugar foods(gatorade, fruit juice) to help it kick in. A multi vitamin that has minerals such as iron, zinc and magnezium is good too. For energy, take guarana, gingko, tribulus or taurine. These things will only work if you put in the effort and train hard. If you dont train, then you are just wasting money. But it's just a matter of trying different brands to see what works for you.

Stick with a good multi-vitamin twice a day and quality protein powder (I like EAS). That's it. Don't waste your money on the junk. It is all hype, there are no legal steroids. Creatine will make you gain weight, just water retention. Your diet is the biggest thing. Quality food, water, and plenty of rest.

Best thing to take is water. The other stuff is mostly hype and generally a waste of money. The effects, if any are caused by sugar and caffein in most cases.

well the top two are optimum nutrition whey pretein and no xplode. if you want vitamins, you should ask what are the top vitams you can take. or go to gnc and ask them, they are usually helpfull. Or go to bodybuilders.com and they will have info.
