What supplements do you take? (Non medical)

faceman

Just wondering what kind of non medical supplements people are taking particularly as you get older to ease the effects of running on your body?

I take cod liver oil as I heard its good for joints but that could be nonsense.

I take Vitamin D. A recurrent problem with my calves last year was put down to a Vit D deficiency

I take calcium and magnesium tablets - don't now if they do any good but don't do any harm, I'm don't drink milk so need to keep my calcium intake up. Also take Vit C during the winter to keep the colds at bay, once again not sure if it works but I don't tend to get colds even tough I'm out running year round in all weathers.

I take iron as i have a history of low Ferritin levels. I've also increased my red meat intake in this regard as it's the most easily absorbed source apparently.
