I've fucked myself up so much over the years with supplements. Wish I could go back 30 years and tell myself to just eat real food. B6 toxicity for instance is crippling. That being said these days I just take two things: vit K2 and magnesium.

That's solid advice for most people in the Western world. K2 and magnesium are sensible choices–genuinely hard to get enough of through diet alone. The bigger problem is that most supplement sales are marketing-led. That's what pushed me to at least try to make the whole process more scientific.
