I dont understand why people cant do their workouts without supplement BS.
To be fair to ephedra, the people dying from it were probably not using it as intended. If you have a pre-existing heart condition and take ephedra, it may prove to worsen the situation. If you are of the folk who think "well, this dosage works, let's try 10x the dosage"...then natural selection works its wonders.
In any event, ephedra ban was overturned by a judge.
I do agree that supplements are such a small part of the equation. The main focus should be on diet and training (diet being a good 75% of the equation, and training being like 24%). Supplements are meant to aid you, but nothing short of anabolics will give you any significant results.
As far as prove supplementation goes: creatine, multi-vitamin, fish oil. Some would say whey protein, but I consider that food.
