#3Hi HN,
I’ve spent the last three years experimenting with supplements, consulting both the Internet and trusted sites like Quora and Reddit. Here’s my current stack (not medical advice and do not treat as recommendation)
Magnesium
Re: Ask HN: What supplements do you take?
#4Magnesium and Vitamin D - as far as I can tell there is plenty of evidence about the need for supplementation and effectiveness of both.
Currently experimenting with L-theanine to see if it helps me work better.

Try iron too. 183k deaths each year due to iron deficiency!

If you take vitamin D, you should also take vitamin K2MK7.
Do also blood test every 6 weeks of 25ohd to detect if your dose is sufficient. And don't forget to take 10 minutes of Sun while it's in its Zenith to get vitamin D dissolved in water.

So only the Magnesium?

#9I don't know anything about supplements, but why do people recommend specific things instead of a multivitamin that covers everything? (Eg all multivitamins have some vitamin d and magnesium as suggested elsewhere in this thread)
Is it just because the dosage is too low?

Or too high. If you get enough of some vitamins in your diet, you don't want or need a supplement for them. And some deficiencies are sufficiently bad that you need a much higher dosage. I don't know if it's been undiagnosed for a while or if it's a combination of COVID isolation + winter, but my vitamin D is very low (found out last week) so I'm on a very high dose vitamin D supplement for the rest of this month before another test to see if it's improved.
