What do you consider to be a staple for supplemental nutrition?

My short list:
Why not -Brand X Multi-vitamin
Good Fat- EFA (Fish oil - pills work fine for me)
Cutting Calories/No milk - Vitamin-D pill (AM/PM)
Stimulants / Coffee & Green Tea - Of course, I've tried others like Jacked, etc but I don't take them for very long.
Joints/ Cissus

..and of course protein powder. I don't bother with Casein as a supplement as I enjoy cottage cheese.
Also, if IF or really slice my macros I supplement with a bulk BCAA powder. A bit pricey and it's a bit of a questionable supplement.

Occasionally I will go on creatine and off of it..

    I have the same list as Grunt1.

    & I just chucked in a super green one lately just for something different & I was impulse online shopping. Probably not required though if you have a varied diet.

    How about a fail list?

    A cheap multi vit can't be bad and calcium if you don't get it from food regularly...

    This. My husband uses it when he does supplement. He tried to talk me into it, but I didn't stick with it. Plus, it smells like battery acid...
