Berocca is my secret weapon. Anytime I feel like I am about to get sick from some sort of flu, cough or cold, I immediately start taking Berocca religiously for several days and more often than not, I don’t end up getting sick 🙂 And if I do get sick, it’s for a shorter time than usual.
So I’m very happy to be contacted by Berocca to help them introduce their latest limited-edition flavor: Mango Orange!
Why We Always Have Berocca at Home
I don’t know what it is, but the combination of vitamins and minerals in Berocca really has that effect of boosting my immune system — something we all surely need right now!
I don’t take Berocca every day, because I notice that I sometimes end up becoming too hyper, hahaha! I don’t get sleepy until 6am! Also, we eat some sort of local fruit every day – pineapples, usually, or calamansi, mangoes, bananas, melons, watermelons, suha, guyabano – whatever’s available and reasonably priced, so I don’t really feel the need to take supplements every day. But if you feel like you need to take Berocca every day, you go and do it! Keep yourself healthy!
However, there are times when I make it a point to take Berocca:
- when I get rained on
- when I feel like I’m about to get a cold or some flu
- when I know my diet has been bad for the past few days and I need the extra vitamins and minerals 🙂
- when I feel tired / fatigued / drained (see below)
- at least 1-2x a week just to make sure that my body is filled with all the B & C vitamins and the zinc, calcium and magnesium it needs
- and especially now in this time of pandemic — whenever I go out! I rarely go out these days unless I really need to, and on those days, I make sure that I take Berocca before heading out and for the next few days so that my immune system will be fortified.
I know that Berocca can be expensive, but the price has actually gone down. I think it used to be around P30 for a tablet, but now, checking Watsons online, 15 tablets of Berocca cost P280 – that’s less than P19.00 per tablet! You only need to take 1 tablet a day, dissolved in a glass of water. Considering what we’re up against, that is seriously way cheaper than a hospital stay!
Berocca is also fun to drink! People who don’t like swallowing pills can just drink the fizzy Berocca and pretend it’s orange soda 😀
What’s more, it’s Sugar and Caffeine Free!
Our body doesn’t store Vitamin C. This is why we need a regular supply of it. Any excess, unmetabolized Vitamin C gets excreted in the urine. You will notice this. I use this to gauge when I need to keep taking Berocca and when to give it a rest for a while. When I’m feeling sick, there’s hardly any excess Vitamin C. This means all the Vitamin C is being used to fight off an infection. If you’re sick and don’t have an appetite, Berocca is the best way to get your daily requirement of Vitamins B & C and zinc. When I get better, then I start noticing the excess Vitamin C.

One response to “Why I Take Berocca + New Mango-Orange Flavor!”
Sugar and Caffeine Free
Yes, but the fizzy tablets contain aspartame.
Dozens of studies have linked aspartame — the world’s most widely used artificial sweetener — to serious health problems, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease, seizures, stroke and dementia, as well as negative effects such as intestinal dysbiosis, mood disorders, headaches and migraines.
Bayer does make Berocca in film coated tablets which do not contain aspartame and they also have less sodium.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to find the film coated Berocca tablets for sale in the Philippines.
