Magnesium and Vitamin D - as far as I can tell there is plenty of evidence about the need for supplementation and effectiveness of both.

Currently experimenting with L-theanine to see if it helps me work better.

If you take vitamin D, you should also take vitamin K2MK7.

Do also blood test every 6 weeks of 25ohd to detect if your dose is sufficient. And don't forget to take 10 minutes of Sun while it's in its Zenith to get vitamin D dissolved in water.

Try iron too. 183k deaths each year due to iron deficiency!

"Try X!" Not if you're young, old, or male and eat a Western diet. smh. Look at the DALY of iron-deficient anemia, which I had growing-up; it's very low compared to many other conditions, it's noticeable, and easily treatable. Iron overload, OTOH, is a much bigger problem because there is no direct, excretory pathway for iron to take. You're suggesting a much more harmful panacea to prevent a hypothetical risk. That's the definition of insanity, ignorance, or both.
