Since I started working out I have been taking several supplements in addition to my regular protein shakes. Here is a list of what I take. Please let me know if you are taking something I am not and why you take it. I am shopping for a new multi-vitamin so I am taking suggestions. 

In no particular order:

Flax Oil 1 tbsp

CLA - 1500mg Krill Oil - 500mg Garlic Powder 350mg Green Tea Extract 725mg ALA - 250mg Vitamin D - 2000 IU Biotin - 5000mcg Astaxanthin - 4mg Policosanol - 20mg 4 multi vitamin gummies, which has: Vit A C D E Niacin B6 Folic Acid B12 Biotin Pantothenic Acid Chromium Molybdenum choline inositol lutein boron    i am thinking of adding CoQ10 and some sort of pre work out drink.

I take Centrum under 50 and I drink a Premier Protein shake every day. That's about it. My doctor stopped me taking the calcium every day.
