The only individual vitamin and minerals I take are D3 and Magnesium. Those tend to be, according to my research, what most people are consistently deficient of.

Hey everybody, why 5,000 IU D3? That seems excessive so please educate me and make me unignorant. The RDA is only 600 IU and the tolerable upper limit is 4,000 IU for adult men up to 50, at least according to this:

Life Force or Orange Triad at recommended doses for me. Either buy a quality one or don't take one at all.
1-2g combined EPA/DHA a day
spinach/broccoli regularly
Don't take D3 since I live in CA and go tanning 2x a week (inb4 skin cancer)PRs - Sq / B / D / Total

Did you read the whole article?
Long-term intakes above the UL increase the risk of adverse health effects [1] (Table 4). Most reports suggest a toxicity threshold for vitamin D of 10,000 to 40,000 IU/day and serum 25(OH)D levels of 500–600 nmol/L (200–240 ng/mL). While symptoms of toxicity are unlikely at daily intakes below 10,000 IU/day, the FNB pointed to emerging science from national survey data, observational studies, and clinical trials suggesting that even lower vitamin D intakes and serum 25(OH)D levels might have adverse health effects over time. The FNB concluded that serum 25(OH)D levels above approximately 125–150 nmol/L (50–60 ng/mL) should be avoided, as even lower serum levels (approximately 75–120 nmol/L or 30–48 ng/mL) are associated with increases in all-cause mortality, greater risk of cancer at some sites like the pancreas, greater risk of cardiovascular events, and more falls and fractures among the elderly. The FNB committee cited research which found that vitamin D intakes of 5,000 IU/day achieved serum 25(OH)D concentrations between 100–150 nmol/L (40–60 ng/mL), but no greater. Applying an uncertainty factor of 20% to this intake value gave a UL of 4,000 IU which the FNB applied to children aged 9 and older, with corresponding lower amounts for younger children.
