The science supporting Berocca

There’s good clinical evidence supporting Berocca’s effects on energy and cognitive performance. Research published over the past 20 years includes:

STUDY TIMELINE Clinically tested in 7 studies

• A placebo-controlled clinical study with 80 healthy participants. Using Berocca for 28-days significantly improved psychological wellbeing (lessanxiety and mild stress, better concentration). It also helped support the immune system. (Carroll, 2000) • Another placebo-controlled trial, with 215 participants using Berocca Performance for 33 days significantly improved ratings of mild stress, a balanced mood and cognitive performance (Kennedy, 2010) • Kennedy et al confirmed this result, in a 2011 study of 198 participants. Taking Berocca Performance for 28 days increased alertness and significantly increased concentration, mental and physical stamina compared with placebo. (Kennedy, 2011) • Two placebo- controlled studies were designed specially to look at task-related brain activity after a single dose of Berocca. These studies show increased brain activation compared to placebo. (Scholey, 2013; White, 2017) • Two more placebo-controlled studies similarly showed that task related brain activity improved with a 4-week course of Berocca (White, 2015; White, 2016)
