Berocca review Innate immunity is the defence system you were born with. This includes things like inflammation, fever, and the histamine response your body can produce when you encounter an allergen. Unlike adaptive immunity, your innate immunity doesn’t involve antigens. If a pathogen manages to evade your body’s physical barriers and your innate immune system, it may also encounter the adaptive immune system. Contains caffeine which helps improve alertness. Do not exceed 400mg of caffeine per day. Not suitable for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. The lymphatic system, although not solely part of your immune system, is also very important. It’s made up of your lymph nodes and lymph vessels. It helps to move fluids from tissues into blood circulation and helps gets rid of waste that cells make. It also contains structures called lymph nodes that can help make or activate lymphocytes, which are a kind of white blood cell that help to fight infection. It’s not just Kirsten who holds this opinion. In 2013, three major studies were conducted on the health benefits of taking multivitamin tablets (a similar vibe to drinking them, as you do with Berocca) with Dr Eliseo Guallar, a professor of epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (one of the authors of the studies) saying: ‘We believe that it’s clear that vitamins are not working. The probability of a meaningful effect is so small that it’s not worth doing study after study and spending research dollars on these questions.’

Maltodextrin is a food additive made from refined starches that affect the healthy balance of our blood sugar levels. It’s an ingredient in Berocca alongside sugar and other sweeteners,’ she said. Blood sugar imbalances can create hormonal imbalances and weight gain as the extra sugar is stored in our liver and converts itself into fat for ‘emergency/stored’ energy. This in turn causes bad moods, depression, PMS for girls, low testosterone for men, infertility, thyroid conditions, mood swings and anxiety.' Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects.

But what’s in that nuclear orange liquid? Firstly, loads of vitamins. B group vitamins, specifically, and vitamin C plus added magnesium, calcium and zinc – which sounds like a really good thing, but actually turns out to be a bit of a placebo. ‘There are no studies to suggest that taking general vitamins like that are useful for anything, and you can get what you need from just your diet,’ says nutritionist Kirsten Crothers from The Food Treatment Clinic.

When it comes to looking after your health, your diet is one of the first things you need to consider. Most of the nutrients we need come from our diet, which means it’s important to eat heathy, balanced meals that contain all food groups. and B6 – present in a wide variety of foods, including pork, poultry, vegetables, soya beans and potatoes (the recommended amount for men aged between 19 and 64 is 1.4mg per day, and for women of the same age, it’s 1.2mg per day) This should consist of a minimum 30-minute calisthenics workout every session: walking, rowing, cycling, running on a treadmill, etc. However, this isn’t a good enough reason to swallow the stuff. I spoke to nutritionist Lana Almulla who is firmly opposed to the above studies, and believes that there is a benefit in taking extra vitamins. However, she is still against Berocca because of other ingredients that can be actively detrimental to your health. Everyone’s on about sugar, for example, and the amount in Berocca is enough to have a negative effect. Obviously placebos don’t cure cancer, but they might just boost your immune system enough to make it appear like the Berocca is working. Or, because you’ve taken Berocca, you may be more likely to make other solid, healthy choices throughout the day, to make you feel positive and protected against germs. That's the thinking behind the whole placebo thing, anyway. Does Berocca have calories?
