This page is pretty-much a marketing exercise - suggest independent re-write

different countries different formulas?

Review formulas on bayer english page and compare it with spanish pages (Spain, México, etc). Here in México Berocca has only 7 vitamins and has no zinc or folic acid. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jcbalderas (talk • contribs) 14:11, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Advertisement Header Missing?

It may just be me - although I strongly doubt it - but the 3rd section title "Advertisements" does not display. It's in the page code, so I don't know what to do to fix it. Gh05t (talk) 16:04, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hm. It works for me, both on Firefox and on IE. No idea what's wrong. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 15:14, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

-On the side of the tubes, it gives the percentage one tablet provides of the RDA of that particular vitamin. In many cases it is up over 800%. Isn't this bad? Surely the RDA is the RECOMMENED daily allowance for a reason? Or is it meerely a lower limit? I would have thought having so much of each vitamin would put strain on your kidneys.

-According to the [[Vitamin C]] page, you can have up to a few thousand a day without negative effects (though once you go over that it can cause diarrhea). The [[Thiamin]] page states that people taking 50mg a day claimed to have higher mental acuity. The [[Riboflavin]] page states: "Riboflavin is not toxic when taken orally, as its low solubility keeps it from being absorbed in dangerous amounts from the gut".  [[Vitamin B12]] is unconclusive, though it says it's only definately safe under 3mg. [[Pantothenic acid]] has little to no side effects, except possible diarrhea at the very worst.

-Just found this on the Berroca website:
-Should I be concerned that Berocca contains levels of vitamins above the RDA?
-There is no need for concern, the vitamins in Berocca are at levels above the RDA but they are all present at levels below the Upper Safe Levels.
-The RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) of vitamins is an EU-recommended allowance to prevent deficiency. Some supplements contain levels of vitamins and minerals above the RDA. This is because, for some nutrients, intakes above the RDA are safe and may be associated with particular benefits.
-For most vitamins and minerals Upper Safe Levels have also been established so that both manufacturers and consumers can be made aware of the levels of intake which allow people to optimise their diets safely.
-The B vitamins and vitamin C in Berocca are water-soluble vitamins, which means you need them in your diet every day because they can't be stored in the body for any length of time.

-== Reference ==
-The second reference is not a peer-reviewed academic journal and contains an incomplete discussion about hangover cures, despite concluding that only time and rest are effective cures.  High-dose vitamins A,C,E prevent acetaldehyde-mediated oxidative damage, as does N-acetyl-cysteine.  High-dose vitamin C and E are not known to be toxic at doses required to rescue hangover. Vitamin B also speeds the rate of alcohol catabolism.  Ibuprofen (not paracetamol), and other anti-inflammatory agents (such as omega-3) cure alcohol-induced headaches.
