Me...Only when i can't handle all the stuff, when i didn't sleep and have lots of work to do, or when i travel somewhere far away, i take "Natrol" Caffeine high 200mg tablet.

Plant Based Keto Diet works for me

I only take B12 supplement once a week and play with my dog in sunlight for 20-30 minutes daily

I take homeopathic supplements for Vitamin B & C, Alfalfa. It's safe and don't have any side effects.

Going to start taking Cod liver tablets from today onwards, does anyone of you take these?

Creatine, multivitamin, magnesium, probiotic, pre-workout, and protein

I get no Sleep I'll take Melatonin soon

Personally, i am against the supplements, Nothing can replace the natural growth..
If you are asking for pre-workout supplements, there are many in the market which you can use, it will surely help you workout 3 time more, but it will effect your natural ability to workout. So instead of supplements, try black coffee right before hitting the gym. It really works out. I have tried that.
For post workout, try 3 to 5 boiled eggs or half liter skimmed milk right after the exercise and your muscle will be pumped right away.

Same. I have a hot lemon with honey after woke up and before bed. And that's it.

OP There are plenty of benefits you could get from lemons, look it up on google.

Food, if you need supplements your diet sucks

This.

Never understood the vitamin agenda. If you have a balanced diet (by not being a vegan), you consume enough of everything, so you don't need vitamins/supplements. Vitamin C makes sense to an extent, when you're ill, but that's about it.

Omega 3 for the heart. Trying to follow a balanced diet with fresh fruits, veggies...etc

Creatin - muscle strength/endurance
Vitamin (k2+d3) - not as sleepy during the day
Whey protein- muscle growth
Magnesium - overall body health

I take vitamin D as we here in Germany definitely aren't getting enough.
You can't get D trough a healthy diet, you get it trough sun. And if there isn't enough sun you will have to less D.
Also because we shower each day theres a little layer of fat on there, because of this, the sun doesent come through in times where it hasn't like 30 degrees Celsius

I take 5htp and kratom ( quiting soon )

That's not entirely true. Many fish (tuna, salmon, mackerel, flatfish/halibut, swordfish, herring, sardines, anchovies, trout, eel, catfish, cisco, sturgeon, rockfish, tilapia), oysters, mushrooms (wild or commercial UV treated), liver (cod, beef, lamb, pork, chicken), egg yolks, margarine are high in Vitamin D. A serving of certain wild mushrooms (shiitake) contain multiple times the amount of vitamin D a person needs a day. There's an enhancement hack too: place the mushrooms under direct sunlight or UV lamp for a few hours, they will contain a lot more Vitamin D.

An adult needs around 600 IU of vitamin D per day. Here's a few examples with the vitamin D content of rather common food:
100g canned red/sockeye salmon: 730 IU
100g smoked chinook salmon: 600 IU
100g cooked swordfish: 600 IU
100g cooked rainbow trout: 660 IU
100g canned tuna: 270 IU
100g cod liver oil: 10,000 IU, 1 tsp: 450 IU
1 cup of chanterelle, portobello, shiitake, morel: 400 IU
1 hard-boiled egg: 30 IU
250ml fortified milk: 100 IU
Fish, mushrooms, organ meat, eggs are very much part of a healthy diet. As you can see, it's far from being impossible to have your needed vitamin D intake just from food, in fact you can easily have multiple times of that and you weren't even outside on the sun yet, let alone the need to take supplements.

In the US they add vitamin D to cow's milk, soy milk, dairy products, cereals, oatmeal, orange juice by default.

It can depend on the line of work, the activities you do and your diet, whether you need vitamin D supplement or no. If you sit in front of a computer most of the time, you don't go out much and you don't eat any of the above food, which is rich in vitamin D, supplementing is definitely something to consider.

A good portion of the vitamin/supplement industry is just a marketing scam on the same level as the bottled water industry.
