If I don't take Vitamin-C, my gums bleed when I brush my teeth. Low doses are hard to find, but I have a pill cutter, & cut mine in half. More isn't always better.
Along with Vitamin-D, Vitamin-E is the most commonly deficient vitamin in the standard American diet. If you're not consciously seeking out dietary sources of E (nuts), a low dose of mixed toco Vitamin-E might be wise. Vitamin-E is the bodies primary lipid antioxidant, & there really isn't much that can compensate for a deficiency of this. Maintaining good iron homeostasis through blood donation or use of iron chelators like curcumin can reduce the need for Vitamin-E. Iron acts as a catalyst for lipid oxidation, so the higher your ferritin (over 100), the more Vitamin-E becomes important.
Magnesium is the most common mineral deficiency, & Mag-Citrate is the easiest on my tum. When I take it before bed, it actually helps me to relax & sleep. Again, I have to use the pill cutter as too much Mag-Citrate can cause loose bowels. Sub-optimal mag can throw a lot of physiology out of whack.

When I got really sick 10 years ago, i did analysis my micronutrient-intake with software. And tried to get at least the RDAs from natural foods by adding in and increasing foods with specific highest content. However, I still couldn't reach the RDA for some, and in the long run this approach seamed just too cumbersome, obsessive and not really practical to me. With which I wanted to say that deficiencies aren't only caused by a SAD, but with preconditions present even with a really varied and healthy whole-food diet. In my case confirmed with lab-testing.
In this thread I summarized the most common deficiencies, and the most essential and basic approach to prevent:
