do i need to take multivitamins since im working out in the gym ?

yes, you should always take a multivitamin! Just by eating certain foods, will not allow you to get the RDA amount. So, I highly recommend taking a multivitamin! You may also want to consider taking Calcuim as well. Calcuim will help rebuild your muscles if you are working out a lot!

Good Luck

You also need to be sure to add a good antioxidant supplement to your daily vitamin routine to keep your immune system healthy.

its sad how some worry more about the "latest greatest supplement" to help them lose or gain and overlook basic things like fiber, water and vitamin/minerals.

I would say yes to your question, 'cause you are sweating in the gym. It's good to take a multiple vitamin daily. Ask your pharmacist to recommend one for your age, or you can even ask your doctor to recommend one. I take one daily in addition to eating right, you know, green vegetables, fresh fruit, things like that.
