Subject: daily supplements, what are you taking and why?

I am currently taking the GNC sport multivitamin although I only take 1 pill a day instead of the 2 per day recommendation on the bottle due to its already high potency.

I take a daily 1500mg fish oil capsule and round out the daily supplements with an additional 2000iu of vitamin D.

What else are people using these days and why?

GNC MegaMen Sport multi (only one instead of two - agree with OP about the high potency)
Two 300 mg Fish oil
One Horse Chestnut Seed Extract (300 mg - helps with my leg vein insufficiency)

Nothing.  Because when eating a balanced diet, there's no clear need for supplementation.  Often, it simply creates 'expensive' pee.

I take Centrum Silver.  My cardiologist has had me take it since my heart surgery in 2000.  I'm on Coumadin/Warfarin and have to restrict my intake of foods rich in vitamin K (primarily dark green veggies), so taking a multi-vitamin helps to make sure I'm getting everything I need.

Because of a post here I tried a probiotic and it is working wonders.  Other than that nothing but my morning bag of win.
