Kelp (potassium iodide) and sometimes lugols. About 1-2 mg a day maintenance, more at the start. It cranks up thyroid and dopamine levels if you are deficient.
Here is how I found out about it:

Here is a thread I made about its connection to dopamine:

Right now, the best of the best favorite is theanine. So many different uses, so gentle and subtle, and I've yet to notice a negative side effect of it.

I +1 this, theanine is amazing! Not only does it help the body cope with stress (blood pressure etc) and improve your cognition, but it is the one thing that has helped my GAD anxiety disorder so much without any side effect. I love it so much I grow my own tea plants just for pure admiration of the plant haha

Are there perceptible benefits to taking this or do you take it for the supposed longevity benefits?

Any references about the liver-toxicity of multivitamins?I don't take a multivitamin because no evidence supports their use, there's good evidence they kick the shit out of your liver, and they're actually inversely correlated with lifespan.

Surprised no one mentioned Alpha Lipoic Acid (not to be confused with alpha linolenic acid). Its role as an multi-antioxidant recyler, and the fact that it's the only antioxidant to be be detected at appreciable levels in the blood after ingestion situate it firmly at the top of my regimen pyramid. I don't take a multivitamin because no evidence supports their use, there's good evidence they kick the shit out of your liver, and they're actually inversely correlated with lifespan. Plus I don't live in Kenya so I don't need them. Conversely, Alpha Lipoic Acid has a deluge of positive data supporting its supplementation.
Omega-3 oils (for a laundry list of benefits that should come as no surprise to anyone), pomegranate extract (potent artery cleaner and antioxidant), grape seed extract (moderate estrogen inhibition, and antioxidant), and occasional Vitamin D follow close behind.
I take a lot of stuff. But in the proverbial "stranded on an island with only one supplement" scenario, I'd go with Alpha Lipoic Acid or Omega 3s. The data supporting the range of their benefits is hard to ignore.

There are plenty of antioxidants that have good bioavailability. ALA is far from the only one. There is also evidence supporting the use of properly dosed multivitamins. It's late and I don't feel like digging it up now. The evidence against multis is mostly due to excessive transition metal content of older multis. The main offenders here were iron and copper. Most mainstream multis today have toned down or eliminated their iron and copper, particularly compared to the formulations that were in use when much of the "anti-supplement" data was gathered. A mainstream multi (e.g. Centrum) is not going to harm your liver. It's possible that living in Kenya would make you less likely, rather than more likely to need a multi. The "Standard American Diet", often referred to as "SAD", is pretty shitty. It tends to be deficient in all manner of things. It's certainly possible to eat a healthy diet in the US, but the majority of Americans don't. As blood mentioned above, I can't think of any data supporting the use of ALA in healthy humans. Do you have a PMID on that?
Like you, I don't take a multi, but I have a pretty good diet and I supplement a number of things individually. Have you ever run your diet through Cron-O-Meter, or gotten a 25-OH-Vitamin D level? Do you know if you're getting enough iodine, magnesium, or zinc?
