This is me as well.
It doea not help to be married to a doctor that says multivitamins are useless.

Seriously though, I have taken glutamine and BCAA's (branch chain amino acids) for years. Yes, whey and Casein (like those found in cottage cheese or yogurt) provide a similar effect but sometimes I want the benefits without the calories.
This isn't about you.

I buy plain (unflavored) protein for my protein shakes, then I can control the calories/sweetness a little better.
Glutamine is the bomb. Though the chart disagrees with me, I think lol

I LOVE NEAT PICTURES WITH INFORMATION!
I do supplement iron and magnesium but that's due to specific deficiencies, and whey protein because it's cheap and easy and tastes like cake batter. I need to pick up some vitamin D too, because it's dark and dreary up here in the winter and I'm sure I don't get enough.
My psychiatrist has me take Omega 3s and vitamin D, both on the top of the chart. I'll follow her advice. Other than that, no thanks.

FYP.
Seriously, I am not against any of that business, just always been too lazy to get into it. I think you can probably safely draw the scientific conclusion that some stuff has some benefits for some people. I am just more eye-rolly at folks who otherwise treat themselves like crap & then expect any of the above items to fix all their problems (usually after reading about it in one of the magazines found at the supermarket checkout).
I knew I liked you, Lauren.
I take a bunch!
Multi+D3 insurance and I need the D for osteo.
Fish Oil - arteries
Calcium - Osteporosis
K2 - work in progress, try to keep calcium where it belongs, bones not arteries.
Plant sterols - so I can stay off statins.
glucosamine - joints, osteo arthritis.
BCAAs - Xtend drink for workouts no sugar or caffeine
Whey Protein

I take all of that stuff.

I take a vitamin D, a multi-vitamin and 2 glucosamine capsules a day and all it probably does is make a fool out of me and empty my wallet.
