Berocca...any good ?
Discussion
Has anyone tried Berrocca ( vit B1/B2 ) ? It is supposed to 'release more energy'...
I had heard of it a few years ago as a hangover 'cure', but i tried it for a few days to ward off colds in January.
Did not notice much except that urine was a much brighter yellow !!
Does anyone recommend it

Generally unless your diet is appalling then they wont be doing much for you other than turning your wee bright yellow and emptying your wallet.
Having said that if you like a bit of booze then they might benefit you, because alcohol interferes with the body absorption of B vits.*

Asda own-label 'Energise Effervescent', is exactly the same formulation as Berocca, but with added zinc.
It's two-thirds of the price.
Having had a succession of really bad colds, and being generally at a low ebb at this point in the year anyway, I feel noticeably better for taking the Fakerocca.

Bad for your teeth, according to my dentist friend who recommends drinking milk or eating cheese after taking one.
Yes, my dentist said this too but recommended eating deep fried kale or roasted parsnips seasoned with rosemary after taking one.I'd never take one though as they're a complete waste of money, for the worried well.
