You should probably ask your doctor about the Animal Pak. I see no rationale for using it. Do you not eat real food for some reason? Is there a medical reason that you need to take digestive enzymes?
Apart from the fish oil --- and if you eat the right fish, you probably do not need even that --- you will spend a fortune on all this stuff for very little, if any, benefit.
Even if you are bodybuilding, you should be trying to get your vitamins and minerals from food, not supplements, and more vitamins and minerals are not always better and seldom needed.
The other stuff on the list has mostly been shown not to do much, can have side effects, and no one knows what happens if you take them all together.

Quoted for truth. Even professional bodybuilders...when they are not trying to sell you something because of their sponsorship contract...take a select handful of supplements.
- Some form of a protein powder
- Omega 3's in fish oil and/or flax seed oil
- Creatine Monohydrate
- Multi-vitamins/minerals.
Alot of the other supplements like glutamine, L-carnitine, standalone BCAAs...etc, are nothing more than expensive placebos that are basically worthless unless you're one of the few people that happens to have a mitochondrial/metabolic disorder.
