I take too many supplements. I probably have a problem. Multivitamin, coq10, D3, K2, fish oil, garlic, magnesium, potassium, saw palmetto, probiotic daily. Whey, pre-workout, BCAA some days. I also supplement with gelatin, green powder, and fibre mixed into foods or drinks.0

I only take a fish oil, a multivitamin and dymatize protein powder.0

Protein, Creatine, sometimes intra-workout carbs and eaa's0

I know...I take a probiotic too. I think to myself sometimes...is this all too hard on my liver and kidneys? Or does the health benefits out way that?0

I take an iron supplement at times when I don't get enough from my diet as I tend to need more than recommended amount, but other than that, I don't see the point in taking a supplement that I can fwt from my food. Especially considering the lack of regulations on them and recent studies pointing out that three brands were tested and all three were found to have none of what the bottle said...0

For most, a multivitamin, fish oil and protein (if you need to supplement more of it in) is basically all that's needed. The rest is mostly smoke and mirrors. Most supplements dosage is low versus what's actually tested in labs for research.
Also since supplements aren't regulated by the FDA, a lot of times there are contaminants that are present because much of the raw material to make it comes from countries that don't regulate purity of the raw materials being sent.

In addition to fresh lean meats for protein, I supplement Body Fortress Super Advanced Whey Protein - Vanilla or Chocolate Peanut Butter or Body Fortress Super Advanced Whey Isolate Vanilla Protein Powder. Vitamins = 2 of my daughter's PRINCESS GUMMIES.0

This is different for everyone, depending on their deficiencies. My vitamin D, iron, and calcium are low so I take those daily. Bariatric surgery comes with known mal-absorption issues so I am on a pregnancy multivitamin for life (Folic Acid).
I'm at that glorious transition of life known as menopause so right now I am taking Black Cohosh and Evening Primrose oil. I lost a step-mom to breast cancer so our family has sworn off estrogen replacement.
Delicate fifty year old knees so I take glucosamine.
Just to be contrary, I take BioSteel in my water on rest days; ten calories. It has L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, Glycine, Taurine, L-Glutamine, and L-Valine. I asked my dietitian about it and her comment was, "can't hurt". But the chief reason I take it is because it is pink and guaranteed to horrify my daughter the natural freak.
I have a glass of water with a bit of cheese and a couple crackers before my thirty minute run. That's it.0 -

I was a little low on D last time I had bloodwork so I'm taking that now. I also take biotin year round and flax oil in the winter to help with my dry skin. Then before bed I take magnesium.0

I only take a women's multivitamin at the moment. Not sure what else to try. I know I need something with more iron and calcium but just need to see if I can fit that in to my diet first.0

I take no supplements at all0
