Fish oils is good to take for health reasons, like Ian said.

Green tea is good for you, but by no means do you need to drink it. I don't. If you enjoy drinking it, go ahead. If not, don't worry about.

Multivitamins are a good idea for general health.

protein powder is by no means essential, but it is a quick and convienient source of protein. It's not going to make a differerence whether you eat 25 grams of protein from protein powder or 25 grams of protein from chicken breast.

Most other products are a racket--things like BCAA's(amino acids), and fat burners and what not.
