The brand I use is by a company called "Nature made" Fish Oil 1200 mg. The gel capsules are easy to swallow and dissolve quickly with a glass of water.
Folic Acid
Folic acid is commonly taken by pregnant woman and the elderly. It could be taken by anybody ages 15 and older. Folic acid provides you with many benefits. These beneifts include:

Calcium Magnesium
Calcium magnesium is an incredible supplement. Especially if you despise milk like I do. This supplement helps your body absorb calcium and vitamin D. Here is a list of the terrific benefits:
- Promotes Bone health
- Stronger teeth
- Reduces bone loss in older age

Schiff makes good calcium and magnesium pills. Two in one so your not taking as many. The only down side is the pills are hard to swallow. So if you can't swallow big pills, this might not be fore you and you can find another brand. I prefer this one
Schiff Super calcium-magnesium with 800 IU-Vitamin D

Zinc is a natural supplement that helps the body maintain sugar levels and increase white blood cells. There are also so many more added benefits to this. These benefits include:
