Do you augment your diet with vitamins, supplements, or exotic foods that are supposed to have special health benefits? Do you take any pills to enhance sexual performance? Please share what you take on a daily basis...
I have used the muscle building supplements in the past. As a longtime insomniac I do take melatonin to help me sleep and it seems to help a great deal.
I do understand that some brands are better than others. I actually had a professional chemist (director of a large laboratory) tell me that a lot of vitamins and so forth, especially the cheap ones, are not formulated in way that your body can break down and use.
I'm old, so I take lots of pills. I take a multi, niacin for cholesterol, vitamin B complex, lutein for eyes, folic acid, and baby aspirin. I also use flax seed for cholesterol too.
Since I'm anemic I have to take an iron supplement. I also have to take a steroid for my asthma.
Vitamin D - liquid sunshine
Calcium (calcium citrate), folic acid, vitamin D3.
Prescription Fe supplement intermittently; I donate blood every 56 days and even though my hematocrit is within normal limits without the prescription iron supplement, it's not naturally high enough to be above the bar for blood donation. So I take the Rx Fe supplement for about a week before I plan to donate, and that boosts my hematocrit high enough to be above the bar to donate.

High dose Evening Primrose (for dry eyes but is generally beneficial), Multivitamin, Glucosamine, Vit C, Omega 3 (Flax seed oil as I have an intolerance to the fish oil supplement).
I take one that's a cortisol support herb blend that does help give me some energy. It's not noticeable unless I stop taking it. I just started taking coconut oil pills but too early to tell if they are doing much or not.
Vitamin C, D, Zinc, sometimes fish oil, but it's been making me sick to my stomach lately.
On my sisters orders lol ... a probiotic, fish oil capsule (Omega 3) and a tablet called Nutricalm which has all the major vitamins in and more ...
Currently I'm taking multi vitamin, mineral and herb tablets, vitamin B complex, vitamin C and L glutamine in powder form for my immune system and recovery after training.

I take a multi, D & E but not every day. Mostly I try to eat healthy with a good balance including lots of fruit, vegetables, nuts and lean protein. I do take Haagen Daz sporadically. I see caffeine more as a necessity, like oxygen. Same for Grey Goose.
I take a calcium supplement
Vitamin D
Iron supplement
3x fish oil
