Food - real food, healthy diet and exercise, and clean water. All a body really needs. Most supplements get flushed out of the body without being absorbed. Money down the toilet.
I used to be a dietician and a personal trainer. Don't always buy into fads or what "new scientific studies show." Most will burn your kidneys and/or liver out. Research what your plan is, and make sure you and your doctor know the effects and balance. Also, look at your family histories. You may have similarities through heredity, but you weren't cut from the same cookie cutter. What works for some may kill you, even if prescribed or suggested by your doctor.

I completely agree. Yes, some people have deficiencies and in those cases supplementing would be a good idea, however most people simply require a balanced diet. Like mama said: "eat your greens!"
I take B-12 because I'm mostly a vegetarian and I know I don't always get all I need in what I eat. Multi-vitamin too. BUT be careful, look for the "USP" insignia on the label. This ensures that the supplement meets the standards for strength, purity, disintegration and dissolution established by the testing organization, U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP).
I take Shaklee. Their vitamins are all natural and have more clinical tests backing them up than any other company out there. A lot of vitamin companies do little to no testing on their final product. Not only does Shaklee thoroughly test it's final vitamin, it also tests all the components that go into each product. I love the way they make me feel and have been taking them daily for the last 5 years.
I take a multivitamin and fish oil caps every day. I also often drink a protein shake in the afternoon. After workout I drink a drink that is protein and gatorade.
Sure you can get all you need from food, but that's a lot easier said than done sometimes with a busy lifestyle that includes long hours at the office, in meetings, in court etc.
I'm taking hunger suppressants, 'cause now I'm trying to lose weight. Also I'm taking vitamin coplex, which consists of vitamin E capsuls and vitamin B12(a'm a vegeterian)
