A question I get asked all the time - Should I be taking a multivitamin supplement as a triathlete?
As overachieving endurance athletes, we have a higher need for many vitamins and minerals compared to someone that’s more sedentary. But do we need to supplement? Or can we get everything we need from our diet?

- The 13 essential vitamins our body needs for normal, healthy functioning
- What happens if certain vitamins are missing from our diet?
- Are there any adverse effects if we get too much?
- Water soluble vs fat soluble vitamins
- When would vitamin supplements be useful?
- My simple answer for the question - Do you need to take a multivitamin supplement?
