Surviving half term with Berocca
As much as I love the school holidays, as a busy Mum of four active children I have to admit that I find them exhausting!! We have always been a family who likes to be outdoors, discovering new places and sharing new adventures but living with chronic illness, and even more so since I found myself hurtling towards forty, I do sometimes struggle to find the energy to keep up with the children!
Packed full of eight energising B vitamins, including B1 and B2 plus other essential nutrients to help support energy release and mental performance, Berocca works with your body to release your natural energy, something I am so grateful for during these darker mornings when getting out of bed can be a real struggle!
My favourite thing about Berocca is simply that it helps me to feel more like myself but on a really good day. Chronic illness impacts me in so many ways and yet I refuse to let it impact on my time with the children. Any help to manage my fatigue is a huge step forward and has made me feel far more positive, and excited, at the prospect of school holidays!

Also hurtling towards 40 here and I don’t drink any caffeinated drinks mostly because I have never liked them, so I know what you mean about needing to find energy elsewhere! We always have a stash of Berocca in our house – it’s fab for energy levels. I love the way the tablets fizz. X
It’s hard isn’t it, especially when the kids seem to have boundless energy!! I used to take Berocca for hangovers, how times have changed!! xx
I use them alot and do think they work and also love the taste from me too.
I agree, B vitamins are SO important aren’t they? xx
I use to take berocca all the time but had completely forgotten about it. Perhaps it would help me survive the hellish commute into London now!

I used to take it for a hangover, now I need it just to chase after the kids! xx
A day without ice coffee? I dunno if I could handle that! Okay,I can and do but I wanted to overact for a second.
Are you allergic to caffeine? It has to something else because the chocolate bars have some caffeine inside them.
But Berocca sounds interesting,we don’t have it here.
Chocolate has only small amounts of caffeine in thank god, I’m not sure I could cut that out too! But yes, caffeine causes my heart rate to increase to dangerous levels and my blood pressure plummet, I’ve ended up in hospital on countless occasions due to caffeine so I am super careful these days! Berocca is working for me right now! xx
your post is what i need right now -being a mum also i struggle with finding an energy – i have never tried Berocca – but i think it be a great idea – i need it 😉
It’s really great Pati as a boost without caffeine, B vitamins are so important and I think most of us Mums are lacking! xx
I’ve never actually tried berocca before, this might be a great alternative to coffee for me.
Yes Amanda it might be worth a try. There is no caffeine in it just packed with B vitamins, I recommend it! xx
I’ve seen these about and wondered if they would provide energy as being a new mum myself I know how much they have you running around. It sounds like they really do help as like you say you are no longer crashing for a power nap in the day!
I think they’re great Kirsty, especially for busy Mums who don’t have the time to get as many vitamins through our diet as we might like! xx
Berocca sounds like a good drink woth healthy ingredients. It will be a better alternative to coffee xx
I agree, caffeine is a quick fix but there is no really nutritional value! xx
I’ve started using Berocca from time to time to get my energy levels up and I do find that it really helps!!
It seems a lot of people use it but not every day, I really recommend taking it each morning for even more results! xx
I started using these in the summer and they certainly give me more energy for chasing my children x
Oh definitely! These kids keep us on our toes! xx
I stupidly only take this when i’m feeling ill. I should take it more regularly especially over winter
I only used to take it when I was hungover! Now its part of my morning routine! xx
Thank you for the reminder!! I use these a lot in the winter but had forgotten to stock up! Xx
They are great aren’t they? So easy to take one each day! xx
I have started using this a lot as I always need the energy and I am not a coffee drinker. Love how you can get other flavours than orange now. x
Berocca is great, especially during winter months! Fab that you’ve found a good alternative to caffeine 🙂
Between Berocca and chocolate I’m sure I’ll be fine! xx
I feel permanently exhausted at the moment so I think this would do me some good
This time of year is hard work! Worth a try Kara! xx
I usually drink coffee in the mornings and during the day to keep awake and feel that energy buzz but sometimes I feel that it does not work, so I will try this.
It’s worth trying Pablo, it’s working for me! xx
I need some of these… My energy is really down since the colder weather hit! Keeping up with the demands of my little people really wears me out.
Oh I know. Where do they get their energy from?! xx
I have an intolerance to Coffee so I know what you mean. I find that green Sencha Tea does the trick for me. Lovely photos of your half term x
Thank you Louise. I haven’t heard of Sencha tea! xx
