I usually buy a daily vitamin drink or etc. to at least get a good fulfillment of most vitamins since my diet overall isn't good enough yet with actual foods or such. I'll give an example of stuff I eat and anyone here can feel free of course to tell me if they think I might be lacking in magnesium (I take no supplements for it):
For breakfast/early meals I usually either eat some cereal without milk (a little since these iron-fortified cereals aren't good); a can of some seafood like tuna or sardines; a carrot/potatoes; leftovers like maybe a little beef/rice; or rarely something like a protein bar fortified but probably not much in magnesium (nor any good kind either likely).
For lunch/etc. I might have also leftovers like some beef/chicken/rice or pastas; might also eat cereal in small quantities in this time; probably also some orange juice/apple juice/etc.; maybe occasionally some grapes/raw carrot/potato/etc.
For dinner (the worst): usually beef, pork or chicken with rice or pasta; sauteed or fried usually. I also sometimes eat more Asian-esque foods for the sodium like fried rice and eggrolls (not exactly good because the PUFAs, but not too bad); and also sometimes low-fat soups and bread or such like that (usually try and avoid breads, but I'm fine with it once in a while).
Based on this it would appear I could be subpar with multiple vitamins, but magnesium in general, you think? I've heard certain supplements the American diet might be lacking in, like magnesium, K2, B-complex maybe and Es. I guess specific diet when not supplementing matters most, but going by average here and studies demonstrating many being insufficient with certain nutrients based on it.
I currently supplement only K2 MK4 1-2 mg a day with a pinch of creatine here and there and very low dose DHEA every other day too (1-5 mg). I'm not supplementing anything else directly, but plan on getting a good E and niacinamide/B complex along with possibly magnesium, lithium and some possible nootropics with anti-aging stuff like maybe resveratrol or etc.
Think I'm deficient? I get most of my calcium from milk and cheese and not deficient there overall to work with the K2, but magnesium is something I feel I'm possibly not getting enough of consistently. Heard that calcium and boron can go good together with K2, magnesium and etc. for very good bone strength/health specifically (not that I have a bone issue, but don't want to have one ever is the point).
