I take:
A multivitamin a few times a week.
Omega 3 (a vegan brand) a few times a week.
I also drink soy beverages that contain vitamins and minerals, and when I workout, I put Emergen-C (a source of vitamins C and B) in my water.
If I don't feel I've hit my daily intake of calcium, I'll take a calcium-magnesium-vitamin D pill.
When taking vitamins, be sure to take into account the enriched foods you eat. If you eat something like Total cereal (100% of many vitamins and some minerals), plus a vitamin-enriched meal replacment drink, plus a multivitamin, you could get too much of some vitamins (fat-soluble vitamins like A and D can be dangerous in excess, while excesses of water-soluble vitamins like C will just wash right out...but make you visit the rest room more often than you might like!).

A multivitamin, calcium and glucosamine.
I buy the multivitamin that has 100% of the RDA or thereabouts. Some of these multivitamins have 300% or more. I avoid these. Not only is it overkill, I also notice these pumped-up multivitamins cost 2-3 times more than your humble, basic kind.

vitamins...multi, C, E & calcuim....however I do not take each one every day
I'm trying something new I found at the health food store, when I ran out of Isotonics. It's also a powder form, which seems to help my tummy from feeling yucky when I take vitamins (yes, you would think I could remember to take them at meal time...)
It's called Emer'gen-C Lite with MSM. 32 mineral complexes and B3, B12, no sugar. Also has 1000mg vitamin C. The packages read "super energy booster". I can't say I've felt that...but so far I'm the only one not hit with winter bronchial stuff going around, and my fingernails and hair are growing like crazy.
