Plus, I believe because of the SEVERE soil depletion, EVERYONE would benefit from adding a amino acid chelated multimineral (for the major minerals).
Then take coral calcium (for trace and rare earth minerals).
It is cheap insurance for your health. Here is where to get Okinawan Coral Calcium cheap!

Here is a brief article from that same page on the subject.
Compelling Reasons Why You Need Coral Minerals:
* Some doctors say that 157 diseases are caused by mineral deficiency.
* Minerals make up the basic foundation of health.
* Our soils have become depleted of minerals, thus, our foods and our bodies have become mineral deficient.
* Coral naturally contains every mineral found in the body and unlike most mineral supplements, coral minerals get in and really work.
Minerals are the basic foundation for health. From our bones to the multitude of enzymatic activities within and without our cells, minerals are the key that opens the door to optimum health. This is accomplished by supplying the body with missing minerals that have crucial roles to play and by bringing overall mineral levels up, thereby raising the pH of body fluids and tissues back to their natural healthy levels. A high pH (alkaline) is important because most disease thrives in a low pH (acidic).
Most people in our society are mineral deficient because the soils have become depleted through unsustainable farming practices. When the minerals are supplied in an organic absorbable form, health can improve. Coral contains every mineral needed by the body and is known for it’s synergistic relationship with the body. Did you know that orthopedic surgeons use pieces of coral for bone grafts because the bone and tendons readily accept the coral.
Every mineral needs other minerals to support it in order to do its job effectively. And each supporting mineral needs other minerals to support them. Hence minerals work best in a complex, such as coral, where every mineral is present in a natural balance.
The mineral wheel diagram shows how some of the minerals are related and need each other. Imagine the complexity of the diagram if all 74 of the coral minerals were shown.
Coral minerals are organic in the sense that they have been previously digested by an animal. It is very difficult for the human body to digest inorganic minerals (similar to eating little rocks). Having been previously digested by the coral polyp, coral minerals are readily absorbable by the human body.
Coral minerals possess the natural ability to go ionic upon contact with moisture. When coral powder is placed in water over half of the minerals go into the ionic state. Ionic means the smallest atomic size. Ionic is the size required by the body for digestion. Ionic is much smaller than colloidal.
Coral is naturally synergistic with the human body. This is evidenced by the medical practice of using pieces of coral in bone graphs. Orthopedic surgeons use coral in bone graphs because the body readily accepts the coral and the various muscles and tendons grow into the coral structure as if it were actual human bone.
