I'm in the Jay (I haven't eaten a vegetable since 1967) Leno School. So I have multivitamins, glucosamine, C, magnesium, fish oil, folic acid, and some stuff called Purity Perfect Multi-Greens. The later is supposed to be veggies in a capsule - who knows. I know I need veggies but I can't stand them. All the good intentions in the world won't help. Hypnosis maybe?

I'm on the "food" diet myself. Plus a bit of caffeine or alcohol as needed for balance.

Men's multivitamin (no iron). I've read many places that it's important for men to avoid extra iron, which most multivitamins contain. Heck, a lot of breakfast cereals are so pumped up with extra vitamins that it's easy to get 100% of your iron right there. My "serving size" is about 3-4X what's printed on the package, and most cereals have 25-35% of the daily allowance in one of their 3/4 cup servings...

Plus the following, temporarily, to see if I can tell any difference in my mood or energy levels:
extra C
stress-B complex
fish oil

Took me a few minutes to figure that out. I googled "vitamin M" and the first few hits were about vitamin B9.. then a few mentioned THC and the light bulb finally lit.

If it weren't for the draconian drug laws (in the US), I'd give that a try too. Heck, it's no crazier than swallowing capsules of fish oil...

In the military that stands for "800 mg Motrin several times daily"...

I was pretty confused as well as to what I should take for my age and health conditions as well as all the positives and negatives of the media.

I found a pretty cool site which spelled it all out for me not only what to take, but how to get it...and had a ton of information too...the site was [DELETED BY MODERATOR]

It may help you out.

Like David in SC, I do Life Extension Mix b/c it's comprehensive. CoQ10, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Acetyl L-Carnitine, fish Oil, DHEA, pregnenelone, and a mix of tumeric, ginger, and saw palmetto to keep the prostate from going hyper. I credit the Alpha lipoic and acetyl l for doing better on the gre at 57 than I did at 22 (along with life long learning but, perhaps, antitdote to at least 50k beers over the years.
