Eat your vegetables. 2-3 different ones per meal, try to cover a broad range over a week. It'll give you everything you need and cost less than supplements.

Supplements are useless. You just pee it away.

Vegetables, meats, cheeses, nuts, fruits fish, birds and and and.
It is a very very tricky just eat your to get done every single day to get everything in the above list.

Yea, thought that way for most of my life and yes the water soluble excess does get peed away, the vitamin b and c to be precise, the rest gets stored in your liver.

Liver, eggs, avocado, lemons and sardines will cover most of your requirements.

More about joint pain, neck pain and waking up feeling like a train wreck every morning but thanks for the suggestion.

Unless you are lacking something, multivitamin won't help.
Most commonly people lack vitamin D, unless you get plenty of sun every day.
Omega 3 may be something to look into if you don't eat a lot of fatty fish, inflammation, cholesterol etc. dat fish expensive yo.
Zinc won't be necessary if you eat red meat, dairy or eggs. Same magnesium & calcium.
Similar story with the rest.

Otherwise maybe look at below.

What did you use to create that list

 

[WaxLyrical]

Only supplement that difficult to extract from food is vitamin B12.

Rest is just expensive pee.

Check out what Andrew Huberman has to say. He has a great podcast called Huberman lab.

No problems with B12 in meat.

No problems with B12 in meat.

Older people have problems absorbing B12, the shot is like R50 and I think you'll only need to take it once a year just

I'd suggest Omega 3. Since I've started taking Omega 3, I found that my mood has become more stable, colours became more vibrant, I can hear all the instruments in music better and I've been getting really detailed and elaborate dreams when I sleep.

It short: it make brain work gooder.

I have a capsule with my first and last meals for the day.

I am working out a lot more than I used to. Creatine, Magnesium, Omega 3 and Zinc. For the joints L-Glutamine . And once a blue moon I go for a neurobium (VitBs) injection.
