Naturopathic doctors can prescribe anything from pharmaceutical medications, botanical supplements, homeopathy, physical medicine, or nutrition and lifestyle modifications. It depends on what state you live in on what exactly your naturopathic doctor can prescribe. Some states naturopathic doctors can not work as adjunctive primary care so they do not have prescription rights.
Vitamins, Amino Acids, Herbs, Minerals, and other nutraceuticals.

Naturopathic physicians know how to judge the quality of supplements you are taking by reviewing ingredients, forms of specific vitamins used, how hard or easy it is for your body to absorb the vitamin and how much you would need of each.

Hello!
There is no limit to what type of supplements a naturopath can prescribe (so long as the state laws do not interfere as it may in some states). From a single specific vitamin to making their own herbal tinctures, recommending homeopathics, prescription grade supplement combos or over-the-counter available supplements; we recommend whatever is most needed to address the health concern you have. We also give nutritional recommendations to use food as medicine.
I'm not sure what you mean exactly but ND's are trained to use a variety of supplement types including herbs, amino acids, vitamins and minerals, hormones, etc.
Depends on what you are seeing them for. Supplements are very much specialized to the patient based on their health and issues they need support with.

-Vitamins
-Minerals
-Essential oils
-Homeopathic remedies
-Nutraceuticals
-Ayurvedic remedies

Really depends on what you are being seen for. Certain people are deficient in certain areas while others are not, but Multi-vitamins are normal.
What specific supplements we prescribe for conditions depends on the patient's individual case.

Supplements your licensed naturopathic physician has access to should be pharmaceutical grade ensuring quality and effectiveness of your treatment so that you know you will get the results that you want.
