A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains should provide most micronutrients.However, a multivitamin can act as an "insurance policy" to fill potential nutritional gaps, especially for athletes with higher demands or those with restrictive diets. They generally won't offer a performance boost if you're not deficient, but they ensure your body has the raw materials for optimal function. Look for a reputable brand with appropriate dosages.
