Even though you are trying to lose weight, you can still lift weights and make strength gains. There are newbie gains where you can build muscle and lose fat but they don't last very long.
I take EPA/DHA, Calcium/D/Mg, and 1/2 a multi. And coffee.

Therefore I found it's better to drop the fat first then work on the muscle mass, not taking supplements without any physical activity. Even if I had the most well-balanced diet, you appear to insinuate that all supplements are worthless. What do you think of when it comes to beneficial Omega 3's? I doubt most well-balanced diets can provide the amount it takes to be helpful, among other substances.
Now that's ironic.(hypocritical?)
I believe supplementation is beneficial when an individual is either lacking nutrients (highly common) or needs to increase something due to an activity (weight-loss, demanding exercises, illness, ect) But there are even other supplements I support other than mere vitamin/minerals, for instance: MSM, chlorella, fish-oil especially. I just don't appreciete the judgement that I was looking for a quick-fix from supplements.
