MANILA, Philippines - Nobody disputes the important role of vitamins in general good health and wellness. Most of the benefits of taking vitamin supplements on a regular basis are believed to be long term, rather than immediate. What many don’t realize is that like other nutrients such as carbohydrates and proteins, our body consumes vitamins, which we need to then replenish on a regular basis. To not do so has short-term and long-term effects on our health. A person who is working hard, whether physically or mentally, consumes large amounts of vitamins, water soluble vitamins in particular — vitamin C and the B complex vitamins. Vitamin C is essential to boosting the immune system, and the B complex vitamins are essential to proper brain function. Fortunately, there is a fast way to address the issue of water soluble vitamin deficiency. Berocca from Bayer contains high doses of B complex vitamins and vitamin C plus the essential minerals calcium, magnesium, and zinc.
