Does the supplement Berocca do you any good?!
Question:
Does the supplement Berocca do you any good?
I've started taking the multivitamin supplement Berocca daily in an attempt to stay a bit healthier (I suffer from stress related illnesses and wanted to improve my general health). I've also improved my diet and already eat a fair amount of fruit and veg. Is it worth investing in multivitamins such as this? I want to avoid things like mouth ulcers which I tend to get a lot of when stressed out.
Answers:
ok berocca is a supplement for vitamin B group and C. these are water soluble - your body can't store them and you can't OD on them. berocca will only have a positive effect IF you aren't getting enough vitamins daily from your food.
if your eating healthy no problem either way (except there is a bit of sodium - salt in berocca) as in berocca can't hurt - just costs money - great for placebo effect
multivitamins on the other hand aren't as safe as it is possible to OD as they often contain vitamin A which is fat soluble. take no more than recommended doses of multivitamins.
for mouth ulcers i'd say regular exercise you enjoy, plenty of sleep and find ways that help you de-stress
best of luck
