I am going to color the text of this list...to make my response easier to understand:
RED= useless dose providing next to nothing helpful
Blue = RDA approximately (which is what most one a day type vitamins have in them.)
The only thing missing is the Kitchen Sink in this list!

The 3 most common nutrient deficiencies in the US...in EVERYONE (not just TBI patients)
are:
B12--- up to 40% of people
Vit D-- up to 70% of people
magnesium --- up to 70% of people
And just about all US people are low in essential fatty acids from the Omega-3 family. These are provided by flax oil and fish oils/krill oils.
