Yes, and Welcome to NeuroTalk:

This is a big open ended question. Our subforum has
lots of useful information including a supplement thread.
I haven't put EVERYTHING on it yet, but I did do the most
common useful things so far:

http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread121683.html

Vitamin deficiencies can be tested. B12, and D are the most common, but B6 and B1 may be low. Minerals like magnesium and zinc, and essential fatty acids fall into the deficiency category also. Many people do not eat foods containing magnesium or EFAs and so the nervous system cannot maintain or repair itself.

Supplements are enhancers of metabolism in case the mitochondria are damaged (by drugs/toxins) and testing for those is not available commonly.
R-lipoic acid
acetyl carnitine
CoQ-10 are examples of these.
