The one thing I think needs to be supplemented in some diets is calcium and magnesium. In previous eras, people either at a lot of dairy or they ate some form of bones (the Asians eat whole small fish, for instance). I can't do dairy, and I don't know how add bones in our cuisine. So I do calcium tablets, which are easy. Calcium is a big part of protein and oxalate handling in the body, and it should be eaten with each meal.

I have doubts about manufactured vitamin supplements. I believe that we are meant to get our vitamins from foods, where they are more balanced in combinations with other nutrients.
However, our soils are depleted, and many natural foods don't have as much nutrients as they used to. So I supplement with "superfoods" - concentrated foods like Chlorella, Blue-green algae, bee pollen, nutritional yeast, cod liver oil, kelp powder. These are whole foods that have a concentration of nutrients. Many of these I take in capsules.
