Vitamin B12?


Vitamin D and hypercalcemia and people in norther climates being Vitamin D deficient. 


Fat soluble
Vitamins A, D,E, K


beta carotene; higher rates of lots of issues
Vitamin A / retinol. reduces bone mineral density, toxicity
Niacin: liver damage, niacin flush

Vitamin b12: 1000 units /day
Vitamin d: check first and then treat

Omega 3 fatty acids

multivitamins: marginal reduction in cancer risk
