Mostly I'm curious. Just trying to get an idea of what other people like to take, and if there's anything I may want to add. I'm big on vitamins.
I'm currently taking:
Multivitamin (GNC Ultra Mega Active for women)
Fish Oil (Also GNC)
Magnesium
Folic Acid
Flaxseed Oil (it was on sale)
Probiotic
1 oz Apple Cider Vinegar (with plenty of water)
I split them up half in the morning and half before dinner. I heard it helps your body absorb them if you don't take everything all at once.

And one that I just started - Agnus Castus (Also known as Vitex) hopefully to help with my PCOS.0 -
B complex and iron blend (I'm deficient in iron and I don't eat meat often) and fish oil (hypertriglycemia). So they're more like a treatment than a supplement.0

If you eat a good diet, have no health problems, and aren't a nursing mother, almost all vitamins are a waste of time and money. The science behind them -- ALL of them -- is shaky and at best contradictory.
For every peer-reviewed article you can show me about BCAAs, fish oil, and multivitamins, I can either tear apart the methodology, or show you a peer-reviewed article showing the opposite.
The one exception is vitamin D. I live in Las Vegas, where people are almost always inside and never see the sun. So vitamin D supplementation is a good idea.
(It's pretty fascinating to see guys who are very scientific in their workouts and laugh at "broscience" when it comes to lifting take a handful of fish oil, magnesium, and other pointless crap every day, just because some guy getting paid to endorse it told them to.)0 -
