that website contains the chart in pic related, it clearly shows the highest the complex sugars get in any variety is no more than 4%, the rest seems to average 1 - 2%.

monosaccharides are simple sugars. Glucose and Fructose are monosaccharides and Sucrose and Maltose are disaccharides. The yeast can easily break down all 4 of these without needing any help other than their basic nutrtional requirments which isn't much, you certainly don't have to keep adding more and more nutrients day after day. "Yeast nutrient" you buy at homebrew stores isn''t even vitamins and minerals most of the time, usually it's just diammonium phosphate to increase nitrogen levels.
