I take vitamin D and some cod liver oil. I took vitamins for years and never want to choke down another pill again. Some kind of foreign conspiracy to pollute our precious bodily fluids I think.
Occasionally I get the urge to go spend on some nostrum so I sit down and gnaw on a bone until it goes away.

Multivitamin
Fish oil / vit D combo (1000/1000, 2 per day)

Seems to be working well for me.

Because it's relevant to this thread. I *was* taking Vitamin A in the morning, but I have a feeling I was over-dosing on it. Vitamin A toxicity causes fatigue and I was very tired for a while there.

I've stopped taking it, but still continue to take Vitamin D, Vitamin K2, and Magnesium in addition to a B&C complex every morning

On vitamin A: if you like carrots, you are likely to meet the requirements or even overdose.
One medium carrot already contains 200%+ of the daily requirements. If you eat 3 or 4 carrots every week, you are already meeting minimum requirements. If you eat more, you may risk overdosing.

On the ethics of meat eating:
Okay, have you ever been around chickens? They are stupid, uncooperative, inconvenient, ill-tempered creatures. They get what they deserve. F*ck chickens.

Eating a healthy, well-balanced diet should provide you with all of the individual nutrients you need. Not everyone has a good diet so some of those nutrients might be deficient. For example, a person who hates fruits and vegetables might not get enough vitamin C and someone who refuses to eat dairy products will frequently need extra calcium. Taking a daily multivitamin is an inexpensive and easy way to be sure we are getting the vitamins and minerals we need.
