Q: please is it good to take in vitamins or protein powders for bodybuilding while going to the gym?

: You do not need to. You only need to maintain a healthy diet with enough calories for your target weight and diet contains about 1.2 -1.5 gm protein/kg body weight. A healthy diet including vegetables and fruits gives you all the essential vitamins your body needs.
