I'd be willing to be that the percentage of people who need more
vitamin A is higher than 40%.  I don't have the references, but
there is recent research indicating that the conversion of
carotene to A is even less efficient than previously thought.

The calcium issue is more complicated, since there are so many
things affecting calcium retention and utilization other than
just calcium intake.

No question about the om-3 though.
