I've been all over the place on supplementing, but now I'm a supplement minimalist. I try to get everything I need from diet.
The one supplement I do take regularly (at least in winter) is vitamin D, because that's not something you can get enough of through food. I still try to get as much as I can through Sun exposure, but that's tough in the winter.
what were some of your previous supps before going minimalist?

The other one I do take occasionally still is B-12. Even trying to eat lots of fermented foods, I'm not sure modern diets can reach the optimal level. B-12 is made by bacteria, so modern sanitation and hygiene have greatly reduced the amount we consume.
I definitely took multivitamins. My preference is for the food based ones over the synthetic ones.
I took CoQ10 while recovering from a joint injury. That's more treatment than supplement, though.
I know at various times I've taken B-complex supplements, fish oil, algal oil, iodine, vitamin K, biotin, vitamin E, and probably a few others.

sounds liek some good experimentation!
nice thing about B supplements is they are not too expensive. my wife gets chronic B deficiencies seemingly ever since giving birth a decade ago and a daily B complex is a literal game changer for her.
