    I take a multivitamin designed specifically for women to make sure I get a good amount of all the vitamins and minerals needed while I am in caloric deficit and some days (the days when my food diary has carb loaded foods) I supplement with whey protein to reach my protein goals.

    Multivitamin
    Zinc - I have an autoimmune disease and it helps the immune system work more efficiently.
    Magnesium - which helps the body absorb zinc.
    B complex - again with the autoimmune disease
    BCAAs intraworkout because I can't use creatine and it helps my energy level. (your mileage may vary)
    Protein shakes post workout to help build back the muscle I broke down lifting heavy.

    Potassium because it helps flush out sodium (I had a problem with holding on to water weight) and magnesium because potassium can't get through the cell membrane without magnesium.

    Cinnamon and green tea speeds up the motabalism. Biotin for my hair. Vitamin D for my fibromyalgia, and riboflavin for my headaches.

    just wanted to say, very few things (if anything) make any measurable difference in the speed of your metabolism. your size and genetics are the key factors. heavier people, believe it or not burn more calories than to thinner people.

    Just 2000 mg vitamin D, but I'm thinking I should start washing it down with cityruss's health elixir, gin!

    Currently, Krill Oil, C, D, B12 + Folate, Magnesium, Selenium, Iodine, Copper. Not getting enough Iron, Calcium and Potassium in my diet yet so I may need to supplement those also. Its tough to have a diet that contains everything. I wouldn't multi-vitamin as I have read it is likely that lower quality nutrients are used.

    I will review this lot after a month or so...

    I take 2 multi-vitamins, 10k IU VitD, psyllium (fiber supplement), papaya/pineapple enzymes and creatine daily.

    I'm on a high protein/carb and low fat diet (40/40/20) and can get the runs and gas because of it. Get a lot of my protein from soy/whey powder & drinks. The fiber addresses the runs and the enzymes help digest the protein to reduce the gas.

    Just started taking the creatine to see if it makes any difference in recovery/workouts and/or muscle growth. Going to try it for 3 months and then reassess the need for it.

    Take the multi-vitamins to balance out my nutrients on MFP and take the VitD because I have been diagnosed as VitD deficient. Have been taking the VitD supplement for years which has brought my VitD reading up to the recommended level.
