Disagree here. Vit D is questionable/controversial (and can cause major tissue calcification issues if you're lacking certain vitamins and minerals and don't solve underlying issues - not to mention the kind you supplement with is NOT the active form you make that's most helpful). Many people are notably deficient in magnesium and vitamin k (virtually everyone is deficient).

Loginb12 is tricky and might be okay for some people, some forms for some people can cause major problems, generally the methylated versions seem to work best for most.
Iron is absolutely something you should never supplement. Anemia is primarily caused by issues with metabolism, D&A levels, and copper metabolism. Eating a piece of liver is going to be one of your best bets for both b-vitamins as well as all of the co-factors you need for their proper use. The history on iron fortification is interesting here, this along with the PUFA/seed/vegetable oil industry is the cause of most of our health issues. They started supplementing iron filings in cereals and grains/flours around the turn of the 20th century to "solve anemia" and when it didn't work - they kept updating the guidelines... 9x. Today's fortified grains and many processed foods have an insane amount of non heme iron (effectively iron filings) which the body can not use, and has major difficulty dealing with (storing it in tissues, cells, etc.).

LoginOmega 3 should also never be supplemented (everyone on a standard american diet gets 10x+ the amount of "EFAs" they need) - really you need 0 EFA. It's a multi-billion dollar industry for a reason (it's killing people). PUFAs (of which omega 3 is one) oxidize around 80 degrees Fahrenheit, obviously our bodies are much higher - it causes a host of problems.

LoginFrank Kumerow (who recently passed away) did a ton of research on fats (and single-highhandedly got trans fats banned) and when told that the fish oil industry was a multi-billion dollar supplement industry he was shocked.
