I try to get my daily amount of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Calcium, and Iron. Are there any really important ones im missing? A full list of all the vitamins and minerals would be good 2 🙂

Hi if you eat a good balanced diet, you will get all the nutrients your body needs. You would only take additional supplements if you were a very keen sports person.
By a good healthy diet I mean, lots of fruit and veg, whole grain cereal, lean meat and fish, low fat dairy products and some treats as well. They start in order of importance and greatest amount.

Hope this helps,
