About this deal

Colour – Many colours are made from azo dyes and petroleum by products so it is just another thing that should be avoided. Some colours have been identified as causing hyperactivity as well as the onset of asthma and dermatitis. Some colours have been banned in other countries while still allowed in Australia, the US and New Zealand. Contains vitamins D, C, A, E, B6, B9 & B12 as well as zinc, copper, iron & selenium which all support your immune system. However, this isn’t a good enough reason to swallow the stuff. I spoke to nutritionist Lana Almulla who is firmly opposed to the above studies, and believes that there is a benefit in taking extra vitamins. However, she is still against Berocca because of other ingredients that can be actively detrimental to your health. Everyone’s on about sugar, for example, and the amount in Berocca is enough to have a negative effect. Also, this list is still incomplete. There may be other signs of adverse reactions that you might experience. Berocca Dosage Maltodextrin is a food additive made from refined starches that affect the healthy balance of our blood sugar levels. It’s an ingredient in Berocca alongside sugar and other sweeteners,’ she said. Blood sugar imbalances can create hormonal imbalances and weight gain as the extra sugar is stored in our liver and converts itself into fat for ‘emergency/stored’ energy. This in turn causes bad moods, depression, PMS for girls, low testosterone for men, infertility, thyroid conditions, mood swings and anxiety.'

Berocca was originally manufactured by Roche, but is now manufactured by Bayer after Bayer’s global acquisition of Roche Consumer Health in January 2005. Bayer is a chemical and pharmaceutical company founded in Germany in 1863. Its original brand was Aspirin in 1897.As a trusted multivitamin supplement in over 70 countries, Berocca promises to improve general health by providing support to the mind and body. Hydrogenated Palm Oil – Hydrogenating any oil turns the oil rancid and makes it into a strong free radical. Free radicals promote cancer and heart disease. Moreover, there is no information available on how the product really works in the body. The company only claims that it can improve mental performance as well as physical strength.

These are what you will not see on the label, but are present in the tablet and are seen as possible allergens:

So Berocca doesn’t necessarily stop colds, may act as a placebo and contains ingredients that are potentially harmful, thereby balancing out the placebo-based positives. It’s no wonder Lana, and many other nutritionists, are fervently against it.

Beta-carotene (Vitamin A) – This vitamin gives you healthy skin and mucous membranes. It protects the immune system from impairments. Other possible ingredients that have been noted come from Josh Gitalis’ blog but I couldn’t find them in the allergy list in frequently asked questions, which may mean that these ingredients are not seen as allergens but still may be in the product. These may possibly occur while your body is adjusting to the dosage. If symptoms persist after some time, immediately ask for your doctor’s help. Berocca's effervescent tablets contain small quantities of aspartame ( phenylalanine). [4] Marketing [ edit ] In March 2011 the Health Department of Australia moved to withdraw the advertising of Berocca for its unsubstantiated claims of providing invigoration. The same department had given Berocca a Healthcare product award in November 2010. [5]We need 60mg every day -- a single Berocca has eight times this. Nobel Prize-winner Linus Pauling thought huge doses prevented cancer. It doesn’t.
