I take a daily capsule of Lutein, Meso-zeaxanthin and zeaxanthin. These natural pigments accumulate in the macula at the back of the eye, and have been shown to improve contrast detection, and might protect against macula degeneration.

I take a daily Vitamin D tablet, as recommended by the UK government (especially as I work inside all day).

I take a daily B vitamin supplement along with Omega-3 capsules, since the combination may protect against dementia, although there are some meta-analysis that dispute this.

Oh - and I take iron supplements as I give blood regularly, and a couple of times I've been refused because my iron levels were just too low to be allowed to donate.
