    I take a multivitamin (with iron!) every day to fill in the nutritional gaps I may not notice. Currently out of fish oil but I like to take a couple of those in a week. Some days I take a calcium, vitamin C and/or a fiber as well, depending on how my nutrition went that day.

    DailyMultivitamin (centrum silver)
    Weekly high dose B12
    Daily Calcium with Vitamin D
    Daily Fish Oil

    I added to my supplements recently when I noticed that I was consistently coming in under RDA for several of the vitamins tracked by MFP. In truth, those short falls are generally to be expected when people diet and many doctors will recommend that you take a multivitamin while dieting. I take the men's Centrum Silver because it is actually highly rated for men of any age and is particularly high in B vitamins which can be low for someone like me who has taken omeprazole for years. Indeed, I reached a point of actual B12 deficiency that made me feel well past my age for years. When I got put on a B12 supplement it was like I gained superpowers. The calcium with vitamin D is because no multivitamins come close to providing the RDA for calcium (they would be too bulky) and I am lactose intolerant and so my dairy consumption can be on the low side. The reason for the calcium with vitamin D per se is three fold. First, I live at a high latitude and have an office job so exposure to the right amount and type of UV for natural D production is questionable. Second, calcium absorption requires vitamin D (that's the main reason it is included in many dairy products I don't eat). Third, some research has shown that the combination of increased D with increased calcium increases weight loss. The fish oil is just something I started because of a history of heart disease in my family. If I'm already taking a couple of pills each day it won't hurt me much to take another.
