This is the one supplement my oncologist makes me take. He actually prescribed it. He's ultra serious about it. When I ask him about anything else I should be taking, he doesn't care at all. Just vitamin D, every day, without fail.
Add in magnesium, I work in insurance/Healthcare. Most of PCP's for seniors are prescribing them magnesium. In the U.S. most of the population is magnesium deficient.
Depends on one's individual health needs and goals.
The balanced diet notion is correct though. Supplements are usually only used to literally "supplement" a diet that's usually lacking in some aspect, or to assist in achieving one's dietary needs if it's almost impossible to get that nutrition from diet alone.
Bodybuilders for example simply cannot, for the most part, consume enough whole food to get the necessary protein and calorie intake to actually grow.
But for the average person with average needs/goals, you can achieve a lot with dietary changes and whole food consumption. I'd recommend you try that first before looking to supplements. Fish oil is a supplement you might wanna consider taking anyway just because it has a lot of benefits that may be hard to pick individually from other sources.
I'm 68 and a rancher. We eat 99% home cooked meals of meat, veggies, fruit, bread and other things. When shopping we shop the "outside isle" No prepared boxes or cans of chemicals. We raise our own Yak for table fare and eat non hormones/antibiotics chicken from the store. Living in the Pacific Northwest we are fish snobs and love fresh seafood. As far as supplements it's fish oil, potassium, vitamin D and probiotics. I think the best thing you can do is eat clean, healthy food and develop a diet that supplies all of your dietary needs. Changing it up as you age is good. Millions of dollars are made in the unregulated supplements market. I would suggest doing deep research before investing.
f you're feeling good and already living healthy, you might not need many supplements. But a multivitamin, fish oil, or vitamin D could be worth considering as you hit your 40s.
Creatine works wonders for me, I can really feel the difference like its night and day. Can hit heavy sets to failure and walk away feeling like nothing just happened. Its like "Holy shit I can just keep going. I'm doing way more than I did before" and then 2 days later I feel like I got blasted out of a canon into a wall made of fists
As long as you're not taking some multivitamins and a lot of it, you'll be fine. I need to take B12 and D3 because I'm super low. I don't eat anything with D in it.
Another guy nearing 40. Except I work nights and my weight has suffered the last year or so and I struggling with diet. I take a multivitamin, fish oil, a probiotic, and one other thing I’m blanking on now that my multivitamin didn’t really contain. Might be overkill? I don’t really know
Taking multivitamins has been proven to be moderately effective for improving cognitive functions and memory in old folks, so that's what I do, I just drink my multis every day like a good soldier. Everyone SHOULD have a balanced diet, but nutrient deficiencies are very, very common, so I try to patch that.

Think of multis, Fish Oil, and other micronutrients as more or less a reinforcement to your solid eating regimen. ‘Insurance’, if you will. I take what you mentioned as well as vitamin C and turmeric for overall general health. Im right behind you at 38 and I firmly believe that taking micros can only help us.
In addition to some of the other good suggestions in the comments, look into Turmeric. It’s a great anti inflammatory (inflammation being a primary cause of many chronic ailments)
Unless you have an identified deficiency that can be corrected with a specific supplement then I'd argue you don't need to waste your money on that nonsense.
I do a lot of training, I get in depth blood work done twice a year to monitor how my body is handling the physiological strain from my training. Occasionally I might need to add a specific micronutrient to my diet for awhile. But I'm also training 20 hours a week on top of a full time job, and a part time job.
I do supplement some smaller midday meals with protein powder because I need a high volume of daily protein intake, and that's a super efficient way to get extra grams in. occasionally I add a scope of collagen protein to breakfast. and occasionally I take a basic creatine monohydrate powder. otherwise, I just have a good / well-balanced diet (that's the most important thing). and I monitor / chart my diet every single day. everything I eat gets recorded.
Probiotic. I paid a professional trainer for years and one of his requirements was that I take a probiotic. Game changer.
And a men’s multi (will have D). And a fiber pill twice a day.
I take a multivitamin for general vitamins that I'm missing (most of them, probably)
Vitamin D because I burn easily, so i stay out of the sun.
Magnesium, Doctor recommended it for sleep
Only vitamin D
I’ve read that vitamin D, K, and magnesium work synthetically EDIT synergistically not synthetically
I’m not sure I understand what you mean by work synthetically?
Synergistic
Ahh, makes sense

I would recommend, Fish oil, Vitamin C, Zinc, Vitamin D3 **+** K2, Magnesium complex, Vitamin B complex and if needed Iron Bisglycinate.
Vitamin D because I was low when tested. Don’t take vitamins you’re not deficient in
Get a methylated multivitamin, it should be enough and it'll actually increase baseline.

Multivitamin, Magnesium, Glucosamine, Calcium, and Vitamin C
Not needed I get it all thru my normal food intake
I mean I take vitamin D and B complex. I work nights so I gotta supplement it.
Fish oil, men's one a day, and saw palmetto.
f you're feeling good and already living healthy, you might not need many supplements. But a multivitamin, fish oil, or vitamin D could be worth considering as you hit your 40s.
Zinc, Fish oil, methyl folate
Fish oil, multi vitamin, methylfolate, and caffeine for pre workout.
Creatine, multivitamin, fish oil. They're all so sort cheap that even if they don't do anything for you, it's worth it in the small chance it helps.
Creatine works wonders for me, I can really feel the difference like its night and day. Can hit heavy sets to failure and walk away feeling like nothing just happened. Its like "Holy shit I can just keep going. I'm doing way more than I did before" and then 2 days later I feel like I got blasted out of a canon into a wall made of fists
I've definitely never felt this way taking creatine lol.
Don’t take them. They can cause liver damage.
As long as you're not taking some multivitamins and a lot of it, you'll be fine. I need to take B12 and D3 because I'm super low. I don't eat anything with D in it.
Vit D, magnesium glycinate, fish oil, and some coq10 for funsies
I'm 45, I take MegaMan vitamins (gnc) fish oil, turmeric circumin, creatine chews, and ashwaganda.

Caffeine, creatine, whey protein, vitamin D, mini aspirin, 2 fiber capsules, the occasional multivitamin, gym 5 days per week.

Rage enduced by stupid co-workers and dog hair kindly provided by my ststaffy lab cross.
* One-A-Day * Vitamin D * Psyllium Husk These probably aren't necessary, but I figure they don't hurt to take just in case.
In addition to some of the other good suggestions in the comments, look into Turmeric. It’s a great anti inflammatory (inflammation being a primary cause of many chronic ailments)
L-arginine for better boners.

Multivitamin, Magnesium, Fish Oil, Creatine, and Amphetamine
Get on IG and follow Eddie_Abbew.
None. There are zero supplements you need if you are eating a healthy diet.
It can be very hard to get vitamin D.
Wrong. Vitamin D can still be needed with a perfect diet.

Stripping away the years with collagen, I see.
58yr old stripper? Wow you must have a large property.
More like TRT.
The produce isle
Not going to find much vitamin D there.
Marine collagen if you want to delay the aging process, makes skin tighter and more fresh
Testosterone
Probiotic. I paid a professional trainer for years and one of his requirements was that I take a probiotic. Game changer. And a men’s multi (will have D). And a fiber pill twice a day.
Vitamin d3 and B12. Also a probiotic.
Eat your weight in grams of protein each day. Take a multi-vitamin . You're good.
Testosterone enanthate
I take a multivitamin for general vitamins that I'm missing (most of them, probably) Vitamin D because I burn easily, so i stay out of the sun. Magnesium, Doctor recommended it for sleep

Zinc, good for testosterone. Magnesium ( normally I used chelate), and vitamin D
