I take a multivitamin (but not specifically because of low carb, just because I think eating at a calorie deficit makes it a good idea). I also take vitamin D (I avoid the sun and always wear a high spf). I recently started taking magnesium. I also use more salt and the light salt for potassium.0

Mg-citrate, zinc gluconate, omega-3FA, iCap (being optimistic, similar to AREDS formula but stronger in the MVI components), melatonin (seasonally), biotin (seasonally), & currently experimenting with CLA. Way less compared to when I was a supplement "junky"
Bizarre how similar everyones' stacks are
I might play around with phytonadione after reading more into it...seems like a me too vitamin or overhyped from quackery for right now0 -
D3, K2, CoCu10, Mag, Biotin, Inositol, Fermented Cod Liver Oil0

To my knowledge, the only people who make it are Green Pastures. As far as I know, they only sell online, but you might be able to find it or special order it from places like Vitamin Shoppe or Whole Foods. They do offer it via Amazon, so you could buy a gift card from Kroger or Giant Eagle or whatever and buy it that way.
We personally get the pill form (specifically, the FCLO+butter oil version). It does have a bit of a fishy aftertaste, so be warned if you don't like fish.
I can't speak for the other person, but we use it for dental health, primarily (yay, K2!), though the Omegas in it no doubt have their benefits, too.0 -

Magnesium citrate
Vitamin D

So since I already take a supplement with D3 + K2, and I'm regularly adding hemp protein, chia seeds, and the occasional golden flax meal to my smoothies and such, what exactly would I be missing out of the mix? I'm just trying to figure out... I can't recall why I was after FCLO in the beginning - natural sunscreen supplement aka WellnessMama I think, maybe?
EDITED TO ADD: I also drink 4+ oz of Kombucha daily, and have dabbled with sauerkraut.0 -
K2 is relative new to me. Google it if you do not take it. Talking Vit D3 (especially if taking calcium) without K2 may lead to artery and heart disease/attack.0

The Omega-3 fats are the big benefit for any fish oil supplement. FCLO also has vitamin A and D in it naturally (as opposed to added back in) and in the right proportion to be safe (less likely to reach toxicity levels unless you ingest like half the bottle or something). The Omega-3 in fish oil is also in the more bioavailable DHA and EPA, as opposed to the not-so-bioavailable ALA form found in flax and chia. You may or may not save money by switching to the fish/butter oil supplement, but it is, in my opinion, the better money spent.
Katie (WellnessMama) loves FCLO, so you very likely read about it at least once on her site if you frequent it. As I recall, while it's not usually taken for the sunscreen effect, many people do report better sun tolerance when taking it (my husband, a card-carrying ginger, even has noticeably better sun tolerance, to the point that he actually tanned this year and didn't burn as much).0 -
I take Vit C, Vit D3 in fall/winter/spring, omega 3 fish oil, and magnesium citrate.
I also use Kombucha as a natural immune system booster, and make my own bone broth and pickles.0
