+1 on eating good, whole foods.

There's growing data that vitamins and other supplements don't help, and can hurt. http://vitals.msnbc.msn.com/_news/20...udy-finds?lite

Add in the fact that dietary supplements are essentially not regulated, are subject to impurities (see e.g. L tryptophan deaths), and that the companies selling them have no effective limitation on the crap that they can claim, and there just isn't a good case for taking dietary supplements.
