How Does Berocca Performance Work?
B-Complex vitamins are essential cofactors in the cellular energy production process — without adequate B1, B2, B3, B5, and B6, the body cannot efficiently convert food into usable energy, leading to fatigue and poor concentration. Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid support red blood cell production and nerve function — deficiency in either causes significant fatigue and cognitive decline. Biotin supports healthy metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Vitamin C at 500mg provides antioxidant protection and immune support. Magnesium at 100mg supports over 300 enzymatic reactions including energy production and muscle relaxation. Calcium supports nerve signal transmission and muscle contraction. Zinc supports immune cell function and cognitive health. The effervescent format ensures rapid, complete absorption of all 12 nutrients simultaneously.
Dosage and Administration
| Indication | Dose | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Daily energy & mental performance | 1 tablet dissolved in water | Once daily — preferably morning |
| Fatigue & B-vitamin deficiency support | 1 tablet dissolved in water | Once daily with or without food |
⚠️ Dissolve one tablet completely in a full glass of water (200ml) before drinking. Do not swallow undissolved tablet. Do not dissolve in hot water — heat degrades B-vitamins and Vitamin C. Best taken in the morning for sustained daily energy support. Do not exceed one tablet per day.

Serious (Stop and consult your doctor if):

Drug Interactions
| Medicine / Substance | Possible Interaction |
|---|---|
| Levodopa (Parkinson's medicine) | Vitamin B6 reduces Levodopa effectiveness — consult doctor before use |
| Tetracycline / Fluoroquinolone antibiotics | Calcium, Magnesium, and Zinc reduce antibiotic absorption — take 2–3 hours apart |
| Levothyroxine (thyroid medicine) | Calcium and Magnesium reduce absorption — take thyroid medicine at least 4 hours apart |
| Blood thinners (e.g., Warfarin) | High-dose Vitamin C may mildly affect INR — monitor anticoagulation |
| Iron supplements | Vitamin C significantly enhances iron absorption — generally beneficial but monitor in iron overload |
| Metformin (diabetes medicine) | Long-term Metformin depletes B12 — Berocca helps replenish B12 levels beneficially |

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Does Berocca Performance contain caffeine or sugar?
No, Berocca Performance is completely caffeine-free and sugar-free. The energy support it provides comes entirely from B-Complex vitamins optimising cellular energy metabolism — not from stimulants or sugar.
Q: Why does my urine turn bright yellow after taking Berocca?
Bright yellow urine is caused by Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) being excreted by the kidneys — this is completely harmless and is a normal, expected result of taking any high-dose B-Complex supplement.
Q: Can Berocca Performance be taken every day long-term?
Yes, at these doses it is generally safe for daily long-term use in healthy adults. However, high-dose Vitamin B6 taken in excess of recommended amounts over very long periods has been associated with peripheral neuropathy — always stick to one tablet per day.
Q: Can Berocca replace a meal or be used as a meal supplement?
No, Berocca provides vitamins and minerals but does not supply calories, protein, or dietary fibre. It is a micronutrient supplement designed to complement a balanced diet — not replace meals.
