One thing that's important and never in a multivitamin (because it's a fat) is Omega 3 fat supplements. You brain is mainly made of such fats and you can imagine that it's important to have the right stuff in there!

For exactly what to take, I like Mark Hyman and Andrew Weil's web sites and books.
