Vitamin D, 5000 IU per day - This has stabilized my energy and lifted my mood, especially in the winter. I'm thinking of dropping to 4000 IU a day soon since I don't see a difference from taking 5000 than a dose of 3000 like I was doing before.
If you are already getting enough sunlight, 1000 IU/day is plenty. US government has increased their recommendation to 400 IU/day.
Be aware that the vitamin D you "get" from sunlight is metabolized differently than the ones you supplement yourself with; you should always get sunlight.

Magnesium, 200mg per day - I have a mild heart palpitation that has gotten worse with the Vitamin D. I learned that magnesium is a co-factor for vitamin D uptake, so taking the extra vitamin D was leaving me deficient with magnesium. Now the palpitation is less severe than before I was taking vitamin D at all.
Magnesium does help with anxiety/palpitations/relaxation. I think 500mg is the standard dose though, and of course make sure it's citrate.

Coconut oil, one teaspoon a day - This had made me hornier and seems to help with muscle building. I'm guessing it's doing something to my testosterone levels. It also has increased my energy noticeably.
I'm surprised one teaspoon actually has an effect.. but yes, it does generally reduce obesity so this makes sense~
For solid evidence on supplements in general, use these cold hard sites:
http://examine.com/
http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/vi...pplements/
https://labdoor.com/ (for determining highest-quality brands)
Zinc is an obvious one that I discovered thanks to this forum. Hope those links above are useful, they can really help trim out all the bullshit, and also skim the book "Master Mind Solution" which provides dosages of the 6 most necessary supplements (Vitamin D, Fish Oil, Probiotics, Vitamin B combo, Magnesium, forgot the other one..)
EDIT: looks like someone had already been aware of labdoor.com. Definitely good shit.
