I take none because I eat normal food.
Come now m_f - the word 'normal' does not apply on here!
I have taken multivitamins, cod liver oil and glucosomine for periods in years gone by and I still had painful joints and a fair amount of bugs.
I now eat a well Balanced Vegan diet with no supplements except ground flax seed and I sh*t you not my joints feel better than ever, although I do do Yoga most days too.
I'm still undecided re supplementing B12.
[url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resveratrol ]Resveratrol[/url] is worth a gander if you like your supplements. Massively-studied natural product in recent years after it was shown to prolong lifespan in certain animals, and then reduce the effects of a high calorie diet in mice. So, potentially, you live longer and you get thinner - cue stampede of pharma companies into the area throwing billions at it.
Turned out to be a highly controversial area, with some of the key experiments difficult to reproduce. On the plus side, resveratrol is found naturally in different foods, is part of a large and well studied family of natural products, so taking small amounts is unlikely to do you much harm.
I'm vegetarian with an... intermittent diet, so I take a multivitamin occasionally. By 'occasionally', I mean that I'll take it daily for a week and then forget for about two years. Part of me thinks I should be more careful, part of me thinks I'm being DBFed by pill manufacturers. Ho hum.
The health benefits of most are zero in controlled trials..
Which trials are these?
Been taking cod liver oil for about 10 years. My knees certainly seem to feel better for it
You've been taking it for ten years. How do you know?

I take a generic multi vitamin and a vegan omega 3,6 & 9 (I'm a vegetablearian).
The vitamins are cheap, I'm hedging my bets. Teh omegas are present in my diet but my knees ache and I quite like riding my bikes so want to ensure I'm getting enough. I take these with/after food of course.
