Can't comment on other nutrients but we probably only recently spent loads of time heavily clothed and sheltered from the sun. This is especially risky for darker-skinned people where vitamin d deficiency is concerned.

Was commenting to my girlfriend how I'm slowly turning into a yoga-mom and wondered if/how social signaling behavior (+advertising) plays a role in nutrition fads. I wouldn't know where to start researching that tho.

A more likely reason for supplementing is possibly an offshoot of anti-parasite behavior. Specialized behaviors for that seem common in other social creatures: https://www.dartmouth.edu/press-releases/parasitized_bees_090115.html … but I haven't read up on how it works in humans.

Certain supplements like calcium, magnesium, zinc, etc. aren't as readily available in food anymore because of soil-leaching, so we have to take them in supplement form instead. Also, I've read that a higher VO2 Max determines whether supplements will work for you

As when the body is in excellent physical condition, it can more effectively absorb the nutrients/supplements
