Is Berocca Performance suitable for vegans or vegetarians?
If you’re vegan and looking to fizz with vitamins and minerals, then you’re in luck – Berocca Effervescent is for you. Please don’t take our film-coated tablets, though, since they contain lactose (which is derived from cow’s milk).
Does Berocca Performance contain lactose?
Berocca Performance Effervescent contains no lactose. Berocca Performance film coated tablets contain 94mg of lactose.
Does Berocca Performance contain gluten?
No. There are no gluten, barley or rye ingredients in either effervescent or film-coated Berocca tablets. So if you’re gluten intolerant, no worries - you can take Berocca.
Is Berocca Performance suitable for children?
Berocca Performance is suitable for adults aged 18 and over.
Can I use Berocca Performance during pregnancy?
In a word - yes. Stick to the recommended one tablet a day and there are no indications that the nutrients in Berocca have any adverse effects on pregnancy or on the health of your foetus/newborn child. If you’re pregnant or breast feeding and you’ve got any concerns, please talk to your doctor, midwife or pharmacist. That doesn’t just go for Berocca – it goes for all vitamins taken at this time. You should never take Berocca at the same time as other pregnancy vitamins.
Can I take Berocca Performance every day?
You can indeed. In fact, if you want results, clinical trials show it’s best to take it daily.
What is RDA?
RDA stands for Recommended Daily Allowance – meaning the percentage of a vitamin or mineral you need each day. Here’s where it gets confusing. The RDA is the amount recommended each day to stop the average healthy person from having a deficiency. It’s NOT the amount recommended for you to perform at your peak.
Should I be concerned that Berocca Performance contains levels of vitamins above the RDA?
In a word – no. As mentioned above, the RDA tells you the amount of vitamins and minerals you need to stop deficiency. But what if you’re looking to seriously perform? Well, that’s when you may need more, which is where Berocca comes in. Don’t fret though. All nutrients are below the Upper Safe Levels. These are established levels which tell you that you’re happily within the safety zone. What’s more, since all the nutrients in Berocca are water soluble, your body will benefit from what it needs and discard the rest.
If I am taking Berocca® Performance, can I also take Berocca® Boost?
If you regularly take Berocca® Performance, you can additionally take Berocca® Boost when you are tired and need an instant effective energy boost. The levels of vitamins and minerals for both Berocca® Performance and Berocca® Boost - even taken together - are all well below the Tolerable Upper Safe Levels. What’s more, the vitamins and minerals in both Berocca® Performance and Berocca® Boost are all water-soluble, meaning that what is not required by the body will be excreted via the urine.
Is Berocca Performance suitable for diabetics?
Effervescent Berocca tablets contain sweeteners and sugar, although the sugar present is a very small amount. We have no specific recommendations regarding the suitability of Berocca Performance for diabetic patients and we suggest you speak with your GP or another healthcare professional to get further advice.
Does Berocca Performance contain yeast?
No – neither the effervescent nor film-coated Berocca tablets contain any yeast.
What's the sodium content of Berocca Performance?
An effervescent Berocca tablet contains 40mg (0.04g) of sodium chloride. There is no sodium chloride in a film coated Berocca tablet.
Is it true that Berocca® Performance is supported by clinical trials?
The efficacy of Berocca® with regard to psychological well-being is demonstrated in various studies. The most recent study conducted by Kennedy et al. (2010) with a cohort of 215 full-time employed healthy males aged 30 to 55 years showed that in comparison to placebo, after a period of 33 consecutive days the intake of Berocca led to a considerable reduction of stress and nervousness. In addition, intake of Berocca® also resulted in an enhanced power of concentration in participants. Thus the study validated the positive effect of Berocca’s formulation on mental and physical performance in healthy individuals.
How many calories are there in a Berocca Performance tablet?
A Berocca effervescent tablet contains 5.25kcals. A Berocca film-coated tablet contains 0.56 kcals
What time of the day should I take Berocca Performance?
You can take Berocca whenever you feel the need for a performance lift. But to keep you feeling tip-top throughout the day, it’s best to start off with Berocca bright and early each and every morning.
Is it normal that Berocca Performance has changed the colour of my urine?
That’ll be because Berocca contains vitamin B2 (riboflavin). Like all B vitamins, it’s water soluble so your body takes what it needs and discards the rest.
Can I use Berocca Performance whilst breastfeeding?
Absolutely. The vitamins and minerals in Berocca are excreted into breast milk, but it’s unlikely your child will experience any harmful effects if you’re taking the recommended dose of one tablet a day. If you have any concerns, please discuss them with your doctor or midwife.
Where can I buy Berocca Performance?
Berocca is sold in all major pharmacies and supermarkets nationwide.
