I also take iron since I am a regular blood donor.
Red yeast rice which lowered my cholesterol from 225 down to 104 in 4 months. I take a vitamin E to soften stool (I found) when I am occasionally irregular.
Correction: 225 to 198.
Vit D3 and B12
In addition to those above, I take Vit E mixed tocopherols, CoQ10, Vit C, zinc, Alovea Immun, an Adrenal support supplement & black seed oil capsules
Zinc and vitamin c plus B12
Alpha lipoic acid to help with neuropathy.
Vitamin C, CoQ10, Alpha Lipoic Acid
My “something else” is Metanx which I currently take for my peripheral neuropathy.
I also take boswellia and vitamin B-2.
Oops – and an iron supplement and vitamin C.
A couple supplements I take that are not on the list are sublingual B12 and Alpha Lipoic Acid. Both were recommended by doctors for my mild neuropathy in my feet. Turns out I’m in the 5% of well controlled Type 1s who still get neuropathy!
Also fish oil
Cq10 since I take a statin, and Glucosamin only
B12, iron, alpha lipoic acid, fish oil
Vit C
I take daily doses of Vit D and calcium for my osteoporosis, CoQ10, and Preservision. I also take turmeric and fish oil a few times a week.
Iron
Iron and zinc
Super b complex vit c
I also take Vitamin E, Kelp, Co-Q-10, Iron, and Chlorophyll.
Vitamin C, zinc, biotin besides the calcium and D3.
Melatonin, vitamin d, iron, methyl versions of B9 and B12, and fish oil.
Sometimes your body tells you with craving food or weird things when you lack what you need.
I have celiac disease and I know my fiber intake is not what it was before my diagnosis so sometimes I take a fiber supplement.
Vitamin C
Grapeseed extract
I have been taking omega 3, vitamin D and chewable vitamin C. Have stoped all this summer as I realized that I was getting false high glucose readings most likely due to the chewable 1000 mg Vit C daily intake. Now my readings are much more controlled and in range and will discuss vitamins in general with my endocrinologist when I see him next month. If he suggests they are not necessary, as I have a healthy diet and try to eat foods rich in healthy nutrients, I will not resume taking any vitamins.
I also take R-lipoic acid and iron.
I also take fish oil, 81 mg baby aspirin, CBD oil, and have recently started taking a cranberry capsule because I read in the Lancet that it was very beneficial. We diabetics can’t drink cranberry juice because they always sweeten cranberry juice.
Just a multi vitamin
I also take zinc, biotin, d, omega 3, magnesium, vitamin C, turmeric, 81 asprin.
Vit C, B12, Zinc, Ginger
I am good about taking Vit D and Biotin (because, hair growth!)…but there are others that sit in the drawer, ignored and forgotten! I should be taking my multi and turmeric more consistently.
There for a while, I was taking elderberry supplements.
I also currently take B12 and will be switching to a B-complex soon
I take a baby aspirin, a flax seed pills, vitamin D, a multi-vitamin, and a sleep aid pill (not melatonin as it didn’t seem to help me)
COQ10
Until 6 weeks ago, I took no supplements. But now after dry-eye syndrome after cataract surgery, I’m taking Fish Oil with Vitamin D.
Omega 3
Primrose oil
Flaxseed oil
Grape seed extract
Alpha Lipoic Acid
B12, Biotin
Vit C
B-12
B complex! Smells like hell, helps like heaven.

I take vitamin B12, vitamin C, Folic Acid as well as vitamin D.
