Considering supplements are completely unregulated and could contain anything, and at any dose, I think anyone taking them daily should make sure that they at least know what they're getting. Here's a decent article that has some advice on that: https://www.mskcc.org/news/how-do-i-know-if-dietary-supplement-contains-what-label-says-it-contains
Getting products that CVS carries is also a safe bet as they only sell supplements that are third party tested

PLNT men's multivitamin from vitamin Shoppe which I love the product and vitamin shoppe! ShroomTek I buy from a grocery store called Frazier Farms. Country Farm's Cal/Mag/Zinc. Lysine, frazier farms brand. Nicotinic acid, sprouts brand. Digestive enzymes I know how to get from papaya, pineapple, mango, but I also take an enzyme supplement.
All vitamins I take are vegan/vegan safe if that matters to anyone reading this who is trying to source vegan stuff.

You can get vitamin D from the sun.
I would go for Magnesium citrate which is easily absorbed by the body.
I have some algae omegas which are nice, if you're interested in vegan sources of omegas I recommend something from algae which is offered by Nordic naturals.

yeah, if you eat right you shouldn't have to take a ton of supplements.
the only reason I suggest taking supplements is if you are vitamin deficit or into fitness of some sort and need the extra boost.
there are a lot of great whole food plant based vitamins!

Armodafanil is a wakefulness promoter. When I'm extra tired or have a long day of work/studying ahead (like 12 + hrs) it's a lifesaver

IMO most supplements are a waste of money and some are dangerous, but the thing is you just don't know. I always take a multivitamin, and used to take the glucosamine plus two other ingredients for knee pain which was somewhat effective. There are different ones that seem to work for different people, but without FDA rigorous testing/ double blind etc. it may be placebo effect. When CBD under the tongue drops first came out, it seemed good for pain and sleeping but now I don't think it does anything.
I'm sure there are some good supplements out there, but in general I'm skeptical of the entire industry. There are probably ten thousand of these supplements being marketed, and it's hard to believe they aren't regulated, but that would be expensive, and probably most of them don't do anything, good or bad.
Sorry to repeat myself but it's a racket, although some might be effective, but even then long term use might not be safe.
A couple years ago I read here about people taking excessive doses of multivitamins, which blew my mind. The market leader is called One a Day. That's literally the last drug one would think has abuse potential, but the Shroomery never fails to amaze me, but it's the only website I use, and no doubt this place is normal relative to other sites which attract a weirder crowd.

I think even if it's placebo that gets me active it's worth it, though I also believe anything in a supermarket sus

every morning i take fish oil, vitamin D, vitamin B complex, a multivitamin, and pure caffeine.
during the week, i'll take nootropic stacks to help with focus and mood. i'm a big fan of racetams - aniracetam, oxiracetam, pramiracetam, piracetam, and phenlypiracetam are all great.
on fridays i'll take modafinil, which usually helps me finish the work week on a high note. weekends are mostly T-breaks unless i'm taking something recreational.

None that I am aware of. It was expensive. But I believe the benefits will be in the future.

i feel like the racetams are a safe investment if you know where to get them. they've been around awhile and have been extensively studied. most of them don't have a steep dose response curve so they're easy to work with. and you can get immediate benefits from taking lower or medium doses. they make a big difference in my workdays for sure.

Am I allowed to ask what brand of piracetam you use? Or is that not allowed in this forum?
