When it comes to supplements (or anything that will have difficult to quantify, long-term effects) I prefer testable, repeatable results on a statistically significant number of subjects in sound scientific studies, rather than anecdotal, unscientific self-observation.

The adjective "favorite" isn't usually applied to dietary supplements. I wonder if the original post is supposed to mean - "What supplement do you take that you feel is the most beneficial? The most effective?
An intelligent method of eliciting the same information would be to ask if anyone feels their diet is deficient in some way -- and is their use of a supplement effectively treating this deficiency?
Perhaps your dictionary has an entry for "pedantry"?
