Vitamins and working out

Ok so this question was brought to my attention by a client of mine in the gym.

Why do I need to take a multi vitamin when im working out? Cant I just eat healthy food?

"In the grand scheme of things, your body is basically one giant mass of chemical reactions. Each of these individual reactions is fueled by small proteins called enzymes, which work by lowering the amount of energy that is needed for a specific reaction to occur. Enzymes require the use of a "co-enzyme" which alters its shape and allows it to perform its job properly. Co-enzymes are also referred to as vitamins.


So when it all comes down to it, vitamins are needed to fuel the thousands of chemical reactions going on within your body at all times. Not only does this play an important role in overall metabolism and body health, but it also plays a vital part in the muscle-building process" (source article http://www.squidoo.com/Multivitamins-A-Necessary-Supplement-Or-Waste)

A  multivitamin is essental when you workout if you dont feed your body the added multivitamin or minerals help your body to add muscle and shed fat. So each vitamin you cant eat though food is wasted without the aide of a supplement.
