Frequently asked questions
What do the B-vitamins and vitamin C in Berocca do?
Under the EU/UK Register of Health Claims, vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12 and C contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism, and vitamins B6, B12 and C contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal psychological function. This is the authorised wording rather than a claim of an “energy boost”.
Does Berocca contain caffeine or sugar?
This Berocca effervescent product is sugar-free and is a vitamin and mineral supplement, not a caffeinated energy drink. The “energy” relates to the role of B-vitamins and vitamin C in normal energy-yielding metabolism, not a stimulant effect.
Which vitamins and minerals support the immune system?
Vitamin C and zinc both contribute to the normal function of the immune system under the EU/UK Register of Health Claims. Berocca contains both alongside its B-vitamins and magnesium.
Can I take it every day?
Yes, one tablet a day is the recommended intake. Do not exceed one tablet per day, and do not take it alongside other multivitamins providing the same nutrients without checking with your pharmacist.
