Multivitamin daily. Generic Zyrtec like 6+ months of the year.

B complex - eat vegetarian most of the time so I take this for B12
Glucosamine - often struggle with knee pain from running, started this recently and so far so good
I've also been trying the Huberman-recommended "sleep stack" of magnesium, apigenin, and L-theanine before bed. On the fence about these, as I've only noticed a very small improvement in sleep quality & quantity since taking them.

My wife got me one of those weekly pill things, I load it every Sunday evening. I only take one med and the two OTC things above, but it helps me remember if I've taken them.
(God, I sound so damn old.)

I do but I’m lazy and forget to refill my pill organizer so I’ll sometimes go weeks without
Not sure how much it really helps but I guess it can’t hurt other than my wallet

I always thought most multi-vitamins were found to be pretty useless?

Is There Really Any Benefit to Multivitamins?
A recent look at multivitamins by Johns Hopkins researchers shows that there’s no proof of benefit. Find out the one supplement deemed beneficial—and how others failed.

Was in a real physical and mental rut for most of the year, so for the last month I have been taking Athletic Greens every morning, and have started retaking Alpha Brain for memory and focus. And it might be the placebo effect, but I have felt a TON better on days I take them both, then days that I skip.
Reading a lot of reviews on alternatives that are better and cheaper, so might be making a switch, but for now, doing my best Joe Rogan/Andrew Huberman/your favorite podcaster morning routine.

Nothing at all up until 6 months ago when my blood-work revealed a Vitamin D deficiency.

They are. Same with almost every supplement. Vitamin D may be an exception, especially if you don't get much sun exposure.I always thought most multi-vitamins were found to be pretty useless?

Just eat a balanced diet.

Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to reduce cardiovascular risk, so I don’t object to them. But they’re not tough to get through one’s diet; all you need is like 8 oz of fatty fish (1-2 servings) per week. And there’s an argument that reducing omega-6 fatty acids (from animal products and some vegetable oils) will have a similar effect.Do you feel the same way for things like omega 3s and coq10?They are.

CoQ might be beneficial for heart failure, blood pressure and blood glucose control, but the data is limited. It kinda falls in the probably won’t hurt, may help some people category.

As I mentioned at the top... I'm happy to be talked out of anything I currently take. If all taking them hurts is my wallet, and there's "potential" benefits, I would continue, but I do feel like there's a lot of overkill/quackery in the supplement game. My PC didn't encourage or discourage - I wanted to tell him to at least have a professional opinion.

If you have a balanced diet and are taking these you're quite literally pissing your money away.
Maybe there's a nice placebo effect but otherwise...

Non-fish sources rich in omega 3: flaxseed, chia, walnut, and soy. Other foods have it too, albeit in lesser amounts.Thanks.

And you could cut down on animal products high in omega-6 fatty acids, as a lower omega 6:3 ratio may be a better goal.
