I've heard it's better to stay far away. I'm sure there's some that aren't so bad. Any pointers?!

    what supplements? Some are good and safe, others are useless and expensive.

    Which ones are you interested in and for what purpose? One person's multivitamin is another person's expensive pee. Details are important here.

    Fish oil supplements are clinically proven to be effective at reducing heart problems. Otherwise calcium supplements (+ vit D) are a good for women who do not get enough calcium from their diet. Many people find protein powders to be helpful in meeting their daily protein goals. Most supplements/vitamins are unnecessary unless you already have a vitamin deficiency. It's better to get nutrients through a well-balanced and varied diet.
