I take D3 because I'm lactose intolerant and don't get it in dairy. Ditto calcium, and I didn't take them until I got tested. People who can tolerate dairy (and like it) are probably getting adequate amounts of both and for them, supplements are counterproductive.

For example how do you get DHEA from food? It is a critically important hormone for aging humans.
How about CoQ10? Fish oil, vitamin D3 etc.? The RDAs put out by the medical establishment often fall short
of optimal for many if not most people.
