 What vitamins/suppliments do you take?

I never used to take vitamins or anything because I eat pretty well, but my last GF got me started on suppliments, and I think they help.
I take this big ass men's multi vitamin horse pill every day, along with 2 ginesing caps, 2 ginko biloba pills, and 1 MSM pill. I also have a bottle of 5-HTP, but I usually forget to take those things for some reason, I don't know why.
I honestly have no idea what the MSM does, and I don't know what the difference between ginesing and ginko is. I do know that I feel better and have more energy now that I'm taking all of this junk.
I also know that I have to take the pills after I've eaten because if I take them on an empty stomach they really seem to burn out the stomach lining, I don't know why. You have to wonder how good any of that stuff can be for you if taking the pills by themselves makes you feel sick. I've had it explained to me why you have to take the things after you have eaten, but it went in one ear and out the other, just like most medical advice I'm ever given.
Anyone else here fill up their bellys every day with all sorts of OTC veetemins and other magical herbs and roots? Do you think they help or not? What is the best/most important stuff to take?

Current Regimen:
1 Quest "Maximum Once a Day" Multivitamin
3 B-complex pills (mix of B vitamins...puts me in a great mood)
2 servings of Greens+ (A Canadian herbal supplement with about 40 different herbs)
2 servings Biostrath (a yeast based supplement, helps me in school)
One injection of vitamin B-12 every two weeks
Two tablespoons of hemp seed oil
Plus a whole bunch of bodybuilding stuff
I've tried just about everything under the sun at one point or another. Gingko did NOTHING for me whatsoever, neither did Ginseng. DMAE was a good "smart supplement" I took...worked well for school but I can no longer find it in Canada. 5-HTP is great stuff...I stopped because I no longer need it for sleep purposes. If you need any advice pertaining to a specific supplement IM me.

Damn, your piss must glow in the dark! What does the yeast do, and where do you get the shots done?
I used to take creatine and andro, but I stopped because I didn't want to get any bigger than I already am.

Hahaha...yes actually because of the B-complex I take my piss often turns a bright yellow colour!
The yeast has a bunch of pseudo science that tries to explain it. It sounds flaky, and I'm not sure exactly how it works....but it does.
I do the B-12 shots myself...1.5 inch syringe into the thigh

In Canada you can ask the pharmacist for a 10cc bottle of injectable B-12. They always try to tell you they can't sell them to you, but they eventually give up if you keep pestering them. Only 7 bucks a bottle too. In the US you might have to check out a vet supply store...dont worry some say the vet stuff is actually cleaner than the human grade stuff (it's used on million dollar race horses)

After I read "The Idiots Guide To Vitamins and Minerals" I thought that it would be a good idea for me to take a daily multi vitamin and maybe a fish oil pill to boot...
Then my poo turned green, I mean an ugly real green green kinda color that poo just shouldnt look like. I stopped the vitamins and color went back to norml. Started the vitamins again and back to green it went..
I looked up in the book whats causing this and the book says that Im getting enough vitamins in my diet.. I do drink alot of sports drinks, I have a pitcher of gatorade in my fridge at all times and a few power bars here and their plus salads and such...
Green poo is not fun to have no matter how good vitamins are for you.

I want to find the best mens multi vitamin, but they all look pretty much the same to me. I have no idea which one is better than any other. I took those mega packs for a while but they burnt out my stomach and I got sick of downing all of those pills. They're pretty expensive too. What's the best multi vitie?

Best vitamin pill is Biobolics, without a doubt. Very expensive though, and I'm not sure if they're available in the US.
Second best is Quest, that's what I use. There is definitely a difference between multivitamins...for instance some of them use ground up horse bones for their calcium. I used to take centrum until I started seeing intact pills in my shit.

Yeah, on an empty stomache two things can happen.
1) The pill(s) can lie directly on your stomache lining and literally burn it.
2) Pills can pass straight thru your digestive tract without dissolving.
