Berocca has finally arrived in the United States.
Berocca is here to rescue millions of Americans who are getting hangover over a night of celebrations and booze.
Alcohol is the widest form and easiest drug to take. Apparently, 15 million people in America are either alcohol dependent or are abusing alcohol.
According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are about 51 percent of 18 years old and above Americans who are current regular drinkers.
With the alcohol prevalence data getting pretty alarming, Berocca the world's best remedy for hangover has finally landed in the U.S. At present, it can be bought at stores including CVS, Safeway, Walgreens, Target and Wal-Mart.
The known hangover cure is being carried by Bayer, which is marketed as sparkling vitamin tablets and treated as an "energy support supplement." Berocca is advertised as a product that enhances mental sharpness and physical energy.
What really is Berocca?
Berocca is an orange disc that has been popularized in Australia since the 1980s. It is also widely used in countries including Korea, France, England and South Africa.
What is the formulation of Berocca?
Berocca was invented by Roche in the 1960s. The name Berocca comes from B that stands for B vitamins, RO that signifies the company Roche and CA that stands for calcium, Bloomberg reported.
Berocca is like Alka-Seltzer and Emergen-C. It is flavored tablet that when dropped in the water creates sparkling drink that has the power to provide the energy you need to fight hangover.
Berocca is composed of vitamin B, vitamin C, caffeine, zinc, and different other supplements.
In 2005, Bayer acquired the consumer health division of Roche. It was the time the product was marketed as the world's cure for hangover and was promoted to 70 nations.
How does Berocca works?
There is no known research to support the effectiveness of Berocca. However, alcohol has the power to deplete B vitamins and other minerals.
This is where Berocca becomes useful. Since Berocca is a source of B vitamins, it can restore the vitamins depleted in drinking, thus avoiding or decreasing hangover.
When Berocca is dissolved in water, it can rehydrate you well that will keep hangover at bay.
