It makes me wonder, what other vitamins are we also deficient in? (or the recommended doses are seriously "off")


Yep, several - certainly A and B’s for many people. Not so much C as it’s a common one to supplement and is more common in the diet anyway.

Modern diets/lifestyles are just so much lower in these nutrients, or less amenable to absorbing/utilizing them properly, e.g., due to inflammation.

Chemicals in the air, water and food like mercury and lead, as well as fertilizer chemicals like perchlorate cause problems with nutrient availability and utilization too.


Wait until you find out about magnesium!
