Is Berocca Vegan?

Postby mongjong » Mon Feb 01, 2016 7:55 pm

Anyone know if Berocca is vegan? Or does anyone have any suggestions of a yummy way to get a daily boost of vitamins?

On Berocca's website (http://www.berocca.com.au/faqs/berocca-performance/) it says:

Is Berocca® Performance suitable for vegans?

If you’re a vegan and looking to fizz with vitamins and minerals, then Berocca® Performance Effervescent tablets (or Performance 50+ Effervescent tablets) are for you. Please don’t take the Berocca® Performance film-coated tablets as they contain lactose which is derived from cow’s milk.

So yes! It is vegan! I'm not sure what the performance effervescent tablets vs the film-coated tablets are though? Which are the ones you can get at Woolworths?

Thanks bitapple! I just noticed it is listed on this site as well haha http://simplifyveganfood.com.au/products/?brand=Berocca

I'm pretty sure the effervescent tables are the ones that you can buy at Woolies or Coles.. they are the ones that dissolve in the water and cause bubbles I believe. I think the film coated ones are the ones that don't dissolve in water and you swallow them instead.

No problems - glad i could help. I did read somewhere though that Berocca isn't great as your body can't take all of the vitamins in so it may be more worthwhile getting a vegan friendly multivitamin or one that is high in B12 instead?

I'm not sure if it's vegan friendly? I have just sent an email to the makers and hopefully they get back to us with a big fat YES. Will keep you all posted.
