I have also mild psoriasis and acne and gut issues (flare ups of bloating, constipation, slimy stool). We are in a similar boat.
After testing out lots of supplements over the past decade, I took the opposite approach. Focus on nutrition and only fill the gaps.
I recently experimented with high fat/low carb and also keto mediterraneanish diets. My lifelong acne, which worsened again years after isotretinoin treatment, significantly improved. Psoriasis small improvemen, but duration might be too short, no certainty yet.
Focusing on macadamia and olive oil as primary fuel, sockeyes salmon or sardines everyday. So I also stopped the algae oil. 4 eggs a week. Lots of veggies especially broccoli, brussel sprouts, kale (2 of these 3 every day).
Previously I ate lots of quinoa and lentils.
I used chronometer to roughly estimate micronutrients and the only potential gap was zinc.
I stopped my multivitamin at the same time because I think overdosing B vitamins can easily cause mild effects not documented in literature. I did not find a low dosed b vitamin complex, they don't exist. Afaik there is little research about correlation of acne and artificially high b vitamin intake. I am highly suspicious that this might worsen it for a lot of people without them ever realizing.
My acne was never better and I also had very consistent energy, no crashes as I usually have.
I get astaxanthine from the sockeyes salmon. I still take it and lutein (kale is a great source), but only occasionally.
So my recommendation: Less might be more, find foods that you like that fill nutritional gaps. Minimize your stack as much as possible.
How much vit D do you take? You may recalibrate the stack to the newest standards (800IU is well below required dose for adults). I take 5k IU every single day with cofactors and my blood levels are around 45ng/ml.
Your stack looks pretty solid but that magnesium threonate might be overkill for sleep - regular mag glycinate or bisglycinate works just as well and costs way less
Also consider adding some probiotics for the gut issues, psyllium alone might not cut it
Copper shouldn’t be directly after dinner, it should be on an empty stomach or fairly empty.
Multi vitamin why alternate days
Vit D what’s the dose? You should also get d3+k2

Gut issues and psoriasis - have you investigated auto-immune issues with your Dr?

Probably get actual medication rather than wasting all of this money on supplements that may or may not work
