They need the ones they are deficient/sub-optimal in. All nutrients need to be optimal. There are no specific nutrients that hypos 'need'. And, more isn't better. So, it's always recommended that we should get tested for vit D, vit B12, folate and ferritin, and build up a supplement regime according to the results. It can be dangerous to take too much of some things, like vit D and iron. :)

Always test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12

Ideally BEFORE starting on any supplements

But definitely twice yearly when supplementing
