A good quality whey protein isolate and creatine monohydrate are two great supplements for a beginner lifter to take. The protein powder is convenient cost effective way to meet your body's daily protein requirements. The creatine will help increase strength and endurance in the gym.
When buying supplements, the brand isn't particularly important. What matters is the ingredient list and supplement facts panel.
All protein powders are not created equal. You really need to be a smart consumer in today's market and do your research. Look at the ingredient list and supplements fact panel on every supplement before buying it.
For a whey protein - you want to see nothing but that in the ingredients list. Whey protein, natural flavours, a natural calorie free sweetener like stevia and then maybe some salt, soy lechitin and cocoa powder. There are a lot of good products on the market. I personally use isolation from n2bm.com. A good whey isolate should be pretty much fat and carb free. Isolation has 26g protein, 1g carb, 0g fat per 30g scoop.
Creatine is creatine. Don't waste your money on some heavily marketed creatine supplement that is going to cost 10x more but provide no additional benefits. Either get a bulk creatine monohydrate powder or a capsulated creatine supplement like ancient strength from n2bm.com.
Ontop of those 2 supplements, another really good supplement to add in would be a high quality fish oil.

creatine is the absolute best and cheapest supplement i tell natties to use. it is totally safe.
a great supplement for a natty is also hcgenerate. it will boost your testosterone levels naturally.
the best way to improve on your supplement regiment is improving your diet and training though. if you can dial that in you will be much more successful

Creatine would definitely be the best supplement for you. If your diet is high in protein you may not need a whey protein but if you fall short, a good pure whey isolate would also be a great option. I would definitely be taking your general health supplements too like a good multivitamin and fish oil.

Glutamine and CLA are a waste of money, so do not even bother with those.
As for creatine - it is a great supplement, does not matter whether you are a natural or not. It fills up the muscles with energy and you can push few more reps during your workouts, leading to bigger workload and breakdown of the muscle tissue, which in the end result should give more growth. Either get creatine monohydrate in pure powder form, or something like a creatine mix (like ancient strength from n2bm).
Regarding protein, always depends on your diet. Protein has to be taken in order to fill up the gaps in the diet and in this case, to fill up the needed amount of protein macroelement. Also it is a good option 'on-the-go' when you are rushing somewhere and need a quick fix.
