Dear naysayers: It's straightforward enough to take supplements at breakfast and then build on that with later meals. And it's actually quite a lot of fun to experiment with something fundamental to well-being. I currently take a multivitamin, Omega 3, 600mg calcium + 400 IU Vit D, plus 6000IU of D separately, and variable amounts of whey protein. The multi is an all-arounder, the Omega 3 is for perceived brain power benefits. I go for a lot of Vit D because it's just been amazing for mood, confidence, general well-being, and I started with the calcium to complement it. The whey protein is used to keep me on the straight-and-narrow with the rest of my diet, by controlling hunger in a form which offers few obvious downsides. As far as brands go, I typically get supplements either from Trader Joe's or from CVS. I don't really pay much attention to which ones I'm using as I haven't seen a quality difference yet. I've been going through some Omega 3 from Trader Joe's for ages, no problems with it. For the whey I'm currently using "Designer Whey." I don't know if I'll stick with it; every protein brand seems way different.
