Let's say you lost almost all your money, but could afford 1 supplement, and one supplement only. Which supplement would you buy?
If you could only take one supplement, which would it be?

If, yes, then I strongly disapprove of this false dillemma. I take all of my pills, because all of my pills are beneficial. And I'd want to take 'em as a polypill if I had to take just one (let's ignore pharmakokinetics for a second)
Now if you are asking just for the fun of it, I am even more puzzled. How would I choose? I would probably roll the dice between my standalone supplements.

Do you think this will help you choose the best supplement(s)? I hope not.
No, I believe in the synergy effect of supplements. However; more money on my hands normally leads to new types of supplements. If I suddenly have to be more careful with my expenditures, I am always faced with the decision of which supplement to terminate first. Money vs belived effect vs research etc. When I started on supplementation 22 years ago I only took vitamin C, and I would believe that I probably would choose vitamin C again as my only supplement once more if I had to. Maybe with Alpha-Lipoic Acid breathing in its neck.

Vitamin D & aspirin. Cheap, cheap, cheap. And 2 all-stars. Combined they're 1/3 of the price of most other "one" supplements.
Please excuse my ignorance, but why would a combination of Vitamin D and aspirin be useful?

Settle down Beavis. It was only a question.

OP: if your intention was to ask about the *select few* (not just one) supplements that are the best *bang for the buck* then it certainly is a valid question. The initial question, however, was quite poor.

if i could only afford 'one supplement', i'd probably take a basic multi-vitamin like ortho core.

That said, I think that on paper, from my current personal intake, ALCAR provides me with the greatest concentration of benefits when considering the fertility, antioxidant and neuroprotection it offers.

Care to elaborate on any of these said pills you consume?I take all of my pills, because all of my pills are beneficial...
I'd probably pick ortho-core ... Nearly everything else I take I could probably cover with the ultimately micromanaged diet, but then at that point I wouldn't need the multi would I?
Vitamin D I could get from the sun (not exposing hands, face or neck) and I think UV Index get so high down here I would be ok for winter if I really managed it/'stocked up' before hand...

2nd choice would be green tea, though I don't take it as a "supplement" but drink 10+ cups a day. Studies say this could add about 4 years to one's life. Lengthens telomeres, fights cavities, preserves collagen, boosts immunity, helps detox mercury, neuroprotectant, helps one stay wakeful (caffeine) and relaxed (theanine). One supplement, 4 years of life!

High quality fish oil (e.g. IFOS tested) would be second.
Vit. D is quite important in winter or whole year if you are really deficient, but I
would still prefer to take VCO if I could only take one.
(as Vit. D is very cheap, you should be able to add it anyway to your #1 choice ;-).
BTW: The thread starter's question seems to be very "hypothetical".
In fact, I currently take all three (amongst others)

Another response from Kismet with no value....well done!
To the OP, from my arsenal of supplements I think I would keep maybe vitamin D as many have suggested or Kyolic aged garlic extract.
