What is on your Essential Daily Supplement list ?

[Noelb98]

Been using Gerital Liquid some lately, I like it. High potency B vitamins and iron that is fast acting. Seems to help me concentrate better when I'm playing poker online. A shot of Gerital and one Klono is the good poker game combination.

 F.W.D., you make me laugh!

Daily I take:
4000 units vitamin D
Fish oil
Biotin
Centrum Silver multivitamin 
Antidepressant
NAC
Anxiolytics as needed

My husband jokes that he can hear me rattling after I take all my pills! I notice many people take magnesium. What is it for?

Magnesium and calcium for leg cramps, I used to get them bad, every night they would wake me up hurting but magnesium and calcium stopped it.

I suggest trying NAD+
I just started it a week ago and have way more energy. It repairs you cells and improves brain function among many other things. At some clinics it’s administered through iv for drug addiction and even Parkinsons.

Double blind studies are lacking in most and where there have been verified and independent studies
they conclude no beneficial effect - unless you had some underlying deficiency.
…………...Folken

Not sure that I would agree about the "double blind studies are lacking" part, Folken. 
A Google Scholar search will provide more than a lifetime's reading of double blind and RCT trials on nutrients.
But even then you need to be careful.
For example, the recent very large 5 year trial that concluded there was no benefit in Vit D and/or Fish Oils on heart health or cancer.
They supplemented with such (embarrassingly) low doses that all it proved was that if you take almost nothing, what you'll get is.... almost nothing.  

I  share your suspicions around the benefits offered when there is no underlying deficiency.  The trouble is that 'underlying deficiency' is everywhere.   
Yes yes yes, 'they say' a balanced diet will provide you with everything you need - but there's no consensus among Nutritionists about what a 'balanced diet' looks like.
Of course, virtually everyone agrees that lots of colorful vegetables is the basis of a good diet (and throw out the sugar entirely) - but watch the heckles rise when you start asking specifics about the benefits of GMO grains, and what the levels should be for carbs, fats and protein.

I eat (what I consider to be) an excellent diet. (The starting point being to cook as many of my own meals as is realistically possible).
Yeh - my diet is great - well, except over the recent Festive Season when it all went to pot .
Even so, I will still keep taking my multivitamin/mineral tab, Vit D3 & K2-7, magnesium, zinc, fish oils, K2-7, probitoics & prebiotics.
That's just what's right for me. Of course others are welcome to take - or not take - what they feel is right for them.
I'm happy to spend my hard earned dollars on supplements, but, tbh, feel kind of disappointed that so many others choose to spend theirs on cigarettes and alcohol.
I would also finally add that discussing Nutrition/Supplementation is the same as talking about Sex, Politics and Religion.
It can be fun; it can also be fraught with difficulty (although unlikely to lead to war).

PS. The notion that 'vitamin enriched' gummy bears can replace vegetables gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Vitamin D during the winter months

I like your suggestions, Richardg, and I agree about the home cooking when possible.  I have heard so many different views on which specific probiotics are best, I'm almost afraid to use any.  Some say the good ones need to be sold refrigerated; others disagree.  I take a multivitamin/mineral supplement and an extra vitamin with biotin and keratin for hair and nails.  I do cook for us most of the time and work on keeping it low fat.  My husband takes fish oil on his doctor's advice.

Whoever wrote about inconclusive evidence about the efficacy of vit d3 supplementation...you’re wrong. I’m not ‘bashing’ you, but having researched this SPECIFIC vitamin, dosing, duration, different populations for about a decade now, there is 1 consistency...

If you’re Caucasian and don’t bathe in the sun a couple of times a week, year-long all, there’s ~90% chance your vit D deficient. It usually takes about 3-6 months of daily supplementation of 10,000 iu’s of vit d3 to even get to ‘normal’ if one is defecient. If you’re white and don’t say hello to the sun 10-15 min per day, you should get your vitD levels checked, you’ll be shocked. FYI.

It is a good idea to get checked, I agree. I am prescribed Keppra (levetiracetam) which is known to deplete D3 levels so get a panel done twice yearly. I have been told that white people in winter tend to get vitamin d deficient- especially if they are heavy drinkers as alcohol also depletes vit d levels.
