I take fish oil (generic) capsules most days, for the usual reasons they’re recommended. Zinc tablets when I’m feeling run down.
Perhaps not what you mean by supplements (in which case, apologies!), but If we’re including nootropics, I take various things to try to extend my productive working day. I take modafinil twice a week (100mg in mornings), and try to limit my caffeine on those days. I take phenylpiracetam about twice a week too (100mg in afternoons on different days to modafinil), and nicotine lozenges (1mg) intermittently through the week (also not on modafinil days) - usually if I start getting sluggish in the evening. I also only take nicotine if I’m working, and usually on something I find hard or don’t want to do—as I like the feeling, hoping this sets up a ‘reward effect’. I drink coffee and green tea throughout the week, although I intend to start limiting my coffee intake more.
I regularly experiment with other supplements for mental focus and stamina—recently I’ve experimented with L-theaninine with caffeine, and rhodiola rosae for more general mental stamina. However I don’t track much, and my lifestyle is so variable (travel, etc) that it can be hard to track what’s effective for me, other than the really obvious ones (modafinil, caffeine, nicotine, phenylpiracetam). However, it can be helpful for placebo effect if nothing else!
