    None. If you have a balanced diet and an exercise regime, you really shouldn't need any.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    Vitamin D - its the one we don't (mostly) get from diet and I don't see much sun.

    I have to take prescription strength calcium and vitamin D, as I have thin bones. Two a day.

    I take a Vitamin D supplement since we live in the UK and don't get enough sun in winter to get it from the sun, and we don't get enough from our food.

    I take Omega 3 as I don't eat fish, Vitamin D as the others have said and Agnus Castus for a hormone imbalance.

    I have certainly feel as though I have more energy since taking them.

    Most days one or more of:

    Vitamin D3
    Omega oil caps
    Multi-vits and mins
    Vitamin C plus zinc fizz-tabs in water

    Special antioxidants etc: N-acetylcysteine, Pyrroloquinoline quinone and Coenzyme Q10.

    The latter ones have given me more energy and seemed to cure my aching bones and joints.

    I take vitamin D, I've got a broken ankle that's taking forever to heal so I'm willing to give anything a try.

    Magnesium.

    But that's included in a multivitamin from Aldi that is more or less excreted every morning anyway!

    Magnesium helps you sleep, and by gum, it does. In my experience anyway, and I suppose the rest of the mulitvit (that actually stays in my system lol) won't do any harm either.

    Magnesium for me too, I suffer with leg cramps whilst running, and taking magnesium helps alleviate this.
    I am starting on Vit D and Calcium and also b Vit complex soon (when they arrive) hoping they will help lessen menopause problems
