Supplements?

Does anyone take any supplements to assist you with your exercise and training? If so, what do you take? And why?
Personally, I take good old, simple whey protein powder, particularly VitalStrength Total+ so as to effectively get high quality protein. It's low in carbohydrates which works with my current diet and it's also extremely well priced ($1AUD a serve, roughly, made in Australia too). It is generally just a major help for me, as I will train on average a solid two hours a day, some days it may reach 3-5 hours.
Creatine Monohydrates I am also planning to start taking, as I am beginning to reach a plateau in my muscular endurance, also that I'm wanting to increase my lifting weight for certain exercises. I'm at 65 push ups and typically one will begin to see reduced improvement when you reach 65-70, also I'm only able to bench my body-weight, which I want to improve significantly without costing (too much) my muscular endurance.
E: I also work as a sports trainer.
