Vit B12 --- get tested for this---and get your exact number result, because doctors consider low numbers in this country as "normal" and they are NOT. Chronic low Vit B12 leads to nerve damage.
Vit D-- this is recently moving up to be a huge issue.

Choose another form if you decide to use supplements.
