Your Supplementation

I use ON's 100% Whey in my morning shake, which consists of that, oats, cottage cheese, a serving of flax meal and skim or 1% milk. Beyond that I'm taking a multi with my first whole food meal of every day, CEE around workout time, occasiona sleep aid usage. Testing a new one from USP Labs too, will give feedback here if anyone's interested.

I take the basics: multivitamin, fish oil, sometimes creatine (I'll try to be more consistent with it next cycle).
Whey is not a supplement, it is food.

In the context I use it in, I would consider it a supplement. Technically almost all supplements are just concentrated food products. You won't find multivitamins or bags of ON 100% whey growing on trees though. I always consider a shake a diet supplement, with the whole food I eat being the actual diet.

It doesn't really matter, at all really. But most people do the same thing with powder as they do with food (eat/drink it to get protein and calories). You could say fish oil is the same deal, because it's a fat, but whatever.
I take a multi-vit, fish & flax oil and extra Vit C plus whey protein - which I do consider to be a supplement as I wouldn't bother with it if I wasn't training and I don't class it as normal food cos I wouldn't normally choose to eat stuff that tastes like gone off paint!
IMHO, whey powder tastes fine when mixed with a banana and some milk as a post-w/o drink but for a pre-w/o drink, just mixed with water and with some dextrose added, it tastes like

I have been taking Muscletech's LEUKIC for about two-three weeks now...I don't know if this is helping out with gains or not. Research and comments to follow possibly after I finish the bottle.
EDIT: I will give a mini-review here on what I have experienced thus far. I have only been taking ON 100% Whey Gold Standard, Designer Pro, GNC Mega Men Sport Vitamins, and LEUKIC.
Leukic requires that you take 6 pills on non-training days upon waking and 6 pills before working out. Thus far, my lifts have been good. This may be due to caloric increase or the Leukic.
The research continues...
