Vitamin B complex
B vitamins help your body release energy from food to support vitality and stamina.
They also help your nervous system carry information to and from your brain, and they're important for healthy muscle function.
And the B2 vitamin turns your pee super-bright yellow. If you wondered why, it's because all those water-soluble B vitamins are flushed out of your system once your body's completely topped up.

Vitamin C
  • Vitamin C is needed to support a healthy immune system.
  • It's an antioxidant which helps protect your cells from premature aging.
  • It also helps your body absorb iron.
  • And it helps keep your skin, teeth and gums healthy.
Ideally, of course, you’d be seeking out an orange the size of a football at the farmers’ market.

Magnesium
Magnesium works with B vitamins to help your body release energy from food, and to keep your nervous system and muscles working properly.
And if you can find it in strip metal form, it burns bright white. Visit your local school science

Zinc
  • Zinc helps your body release energy from food.
  • It also helps keep your immune system and skin healthy.
  • Zinc has a role to play in male reproductive health.
And it’s vital to DNA synthesis. Which sounds cool. But probably isn’t.
Did you know
Your brain accounts for 20% of your body's total energy consumption. It can't use fat as a source of energy but it uses 50% of your body's glucose supply.
Clinical trial

This shows that the intake of Berocca can improve mental performance relative to placebo by lowering anxiety and perceived stress, improving concentration and reducing tiredness.

The Top 5 Performance Tips
1. Drink lots
We’re talking about water, of course. Just a two per cent loss in the water surrounding our cells can result in a 20 per cent drop in energy levels. So start hydrating. But, remember, while some doctors still recommend 2 litres of liquids a day (8 glasses), it doesn’t have to be straight water. You can also get water from milk, juice, fruit and vegetables. Not to mention a glass of fizzy Berocca.

2. Get good sleep
Sleep… who needs it? The answer is you – if you want to perform well. In recent studies, people who missed out on a night’s sleep were shown images they’d never seen before. Compared to well rested people, they remembered around 10% less. So get some serious shut-eye by making your room dark and cool.

3. Climb your way up the ladder
Whether you’re climbing, running or boxing, exercise builds brains as well as brawn. Research at the University of Illinois, US, got groups to do aerobic training three times a week for one hour. The result? Increased brain volume and white matter (a bit like grey matter but white – and it forms the connections between neurons). So if you’re working out how best to succeed, start working out now.

4. Laugh in the face of adversity
So what do you do when life is getting to you? You laugh it off, of course – and feel instantly better. That’s because laughter triggers the release of endorphins, the feel-good chemicals that reduce pain and anxiety and enhance the immune system. Laughter is even good exercise since a proper belly laugh gives your abs a work out and gets fresh air into your lungs. No wonder the writer Norman Cousins called laughter ‘internal jogging’.

5. Overcome challenges
You should always aim for a healthy, balanced diet with five servings of fruit and veg and a huge dollop of virtue on the side. But what if you cook your veggies? (Vitamins can be destroyed by cooking.) Or if your fruit isn’t brimming with life-enhancing nutrients? (Fruit can lose nutrients between harvesting and hitting the supermarket shelves.) Well, that’s when you reach for your trusty and oh-so-delicious Berocca – and effortlessly drink down the goodness you need.

Need stimulation?

Berocca® Boost can help. That's because it contains Guarana, a plant extract with natural caffeine, which can help people feel more awake and alert.
It also has a healthy formula of B & C vitamins and minerals. These include micronutrients that the body doesn't normally store, so we all need to replace them on a regular basis. And because Berocca® Boost comes in a handy, effervescent tablet, it's convenient for people with demanding lifestyles. No hassle, no mess, just great Berocca® Boost taste.

It's funny how nature comes up with good ideas. For centuries, people in the Amazon rainforest region have used the berries of the Guarana plant to improve accuracy and concentration. That's because they contain Guaranine, a natural form of caffeine, and one of the key ingredients in Berocca® Boost.

Guarana - natural stimulation

It's good to know that with added multivitamins and minerals, Berocca® Boost also helps top-up the micronutrients you need to keep healthy. And unlike a lot of caffeinated soft drinks, it's free from sugar and artificial preservatives - so if you need a hand to keep your edge, it's a great way to stay sharp.

Sharpen-up
Clinically proven, Berocca Performance keeps you on your game and combats physical tiredness. Its unique combination of B vitamins, vitamin C and essential minerals, like calcium, magnesium and zinc, works in synergy to  improve your brain and nerve performance throughout the day. Berocca will enable you to perform at your best every single day.

What Berocca does

Berocca crams a super dose of essential vitamins and minerals into one handy tablet.
All those good things actually help your body release energy from food, as well as supporting your immune system.
You know those energy drinks that give you the big caffeine and sugar hit that wears off half an hour later? Well that’s exactly what Berocca’s not.
Drinking it won’t change your life, or transform you into that person with the disturbing white teeth on those posters.
Berocca is really about giving you a hit of vitamins and minerals to help you have the best day possible.

The sort of day when you catch that early train, make the lights, snatch the last parking space, get the phone number, nab the last one on sale, and score from your own half.

Varieties

Berocca Performance is a formulation of B group vitamins, Vitamin C plus added magnesium, calcium and zinc. It comes in three flavours, Orange, Mixed Berries and Tropical.

Dosage and considerations

Each Berocca tablet contains 40 mg (0.04g) of sodium. 271 mg of sodium in the tablets sold in Australia and New Zealand.
Berocca causes urine to turn deep yellow in colour - this is due to the excess vitamin B2 being passed via urine.

Advertisements

Berocca ran a series of television commercials in Australia and New Zealand throughout the 1980s and 1990s, using the slogan "B-B-B-Berocca gives you back your B-B-Bounce".
A current marketing campaign in Australia for Berocca Performance with the slogan "Release the inner geek" targets high school students studying for exams.
In South Africa a "Beready Besharp Berocca" campaign was launched.
Long-running Outdoor (poster) campaigns in the United Kingdom with the slogan "Stay sharp".
In 2008 a television advert was launched featuring people dancing using treadmills similar to OK Go's music video for the 2006 song "Here It Goes Again". The music is "Living on the Ceiling" by the British synthpop band Blancmange, taken from their 1982 album Happy Families.
More recently, as of September 2010, a new advertising campaign featuring lumberjacks dancing on water has been launched, with the slogan "You, but on a really good day."
Berocca also advertised to bloggers in the United Kingdom.
In March 2011 the Health Department of Australia moved to withdraw the advertising of Berocca for its unsubstantiated claims of providing invigoration. This came in the wake of the same department issuing Berocca with a Healthcare product award in November of the year before.
