What Vitamins and/or Supplements Do You Take?

I got laughed at this past weekend because I double fisted and downed a mouth full of stuff. I do realize that I probably take more than most people but I figure there's got to be some other weirdos like me out there. I can't take a multi-vitamin because they literally make me sick to my stomach so I take what I want/need.

Daily:
Maca Root (for endocrine system support)
Magnesium (nerve and muscle support, have a pinched occipital nerve)
Zinc (again muscle support)
B Complex (metabolism)
Pantholic Acid (great for the skin)
Chromium Picolinate (insulin/blood sugar, diabetes runs rampant in my family)
A Hair, Skin, and Nails Complex (I'm mean to my hair so it needs all the help it can get)
Vitamin D (I have a deficiency)
Beta Carotine (for my peepers)

What do you take?

I was told you should take a calcium supplement along with your vitamin D for absorption purposes. If your doc approves, you may want to add that to your list.
