Multi-vit or Berroca?

[geordieminx]

Bit run down at the moment, trying to improve diet, but as I'm in the midst of second cold since Novemeber I think I need a bit of a kick-start...

Have both in the cupboard - is either one better?

TIA.

They're completely different things. A multi-vit has a little bit of a lot of vitamins in (and probably fairly low doses), whereas Berroca is a Vitamin B complex, with other vitamins/minerals. It has high levels of B vitamins as well as Vitamin C.

Look at the ingredients list, and compare those as well as the dosages.

It depends, I tend to see Berocca as a healthy alternative to Red Bull (I certainly feel way more awake after one). They are loaded in vitamins, far more than what you need per day so wonderful if you are feeling particularly down but, I wouldn't use them every day, as a doctor friend of mine once explained: The only secondary effect they have is that if taken everyday they may be very fattening.

So, if you are feeling run down I would have the occassional beroccas for those times when even walking to the door seems a struggle, and use the multi-vitamin in a daily basis.

Thanks - the last thing I want is anything fattening - am desperately trying to loose the stone I have put on since Oct

Tescos do a very good range of effavesent vit , infact 3 for 2 offer on at moment , and there Vit B tablets have exactly the same vit minerals as Berocca for half the price .

Why on earth would Berroca be fattening? There's no sugar in them!

Why would it be fattening? far more vitamins than you need in a day???

It is not all about sugar you know. Bananas are also very fattening and avocados are way worse
