Your first port of call should be natural protein like beef,chicken,eggs, fish etc,not pills and protein shakes lol.
Any pill or protein shake should ALWAYS be a supplement,meaning they (help out) with any deficiencies in your diet and NOT be taken/used as,or replacing your main meal.Don't rely on them too much,as you don't know half the stuff used in the ingredients.
I've tried a lot of different pills and protein shakes in my earlier training years and i have doubts to their intended purpose as stated on the package/bottle.
It's also hard to tell if the product you're using/taking is actually working,so a lot of trial and error is expected.
I mean,the best way is to listen to what your body is telling you..for example if i drink a protein shake after a workout session,and 1/2hour or an hour afterwards I feel refreshed and not tired then I know the protein shake did its job,so yeah,it's very important to listen to your body.
They're quite expensive,even for someone with a job.
It's hard for me to recommend to you the products I use as you may be in another country/locale with totally different products .
Your best bet is to ask around different health food/supplement stores of what is best for your situation/training and compare their recommendations.obviously, the person that feeds you the most info is the more knowledgable in the field.
And if you're even keener than that,do some research on diet and nutrition.
Once you get a handle on the basics of what the body needs to function,in turn the knowledge you gained will make it easier for you to choose what is right for you.
Good luck m8
