They also claim calcium and magnesium may be generally deficient. To what extent are these statistics accurate and would it be wise to take a wide-spectrum supplement?” What can we tell him?

These figures are a reasonable definition of a widespread nutritional deficit. The average citizen is receiving less than desirable levels of many vitamins and trace minerals because of the vagaries of modern diets and the degradation over time of food quality in general, so we can give you a big thumbs up for taking a wide-spectrum vitamin and mineral supplement as a basic foundation for maintaining health and well-being.
