What is B vitamin?

B vitamin is an important building block in the development of a healthy body. Collectively, B vitamins are also known as vitamin B-complex, and consists of eight individual B vitamins that are necessary for preserving your health and general well-being.

Where can you find B vitamins?

Unlike most other vitamins, B vitamins can neither be produced in, or stored by your body, and therefore can only be absorbed through the consumption of a few natural food products. These products include cereals, meats, green vegetables and dairy products. Alternatively, we recommend taking Berocca as a daily supplement to ensure that your body is provided with adequate amounts of each vitamin B in order to support the physical and mental requirements of your lifestyle.
