What supplements do people take?
I currently take Vitamin D, fish oil, creatine, lithium, iron, multivitamin and melatonin (at bedtime).
It would be interesting to also know their reasons, and if they notice positive effects.
I take calcium and vitamin D, prescribed for medical reasons. Nothing else. No real way to tell what the effect is short of DEXA scans, but those are x-rays, so you can't do many of them. I'm not breaking any bones now, but I never did.
On what basis do you take Iron?
There is some decent evidence of correlation between iron deficiency and depression and anxiety, which is an issue I have.
I think it would make more sense to get yourself tested for the deficiency. I think the current view is that most people overconsume iron.
Iron.
