Should I be concerned that Berocca contains levels of vitamins above the RDA?
There is no need for concern, the vitamins in Berocca are at levels above the RDA but they are all present at levels below the Upper Safe Levels. The RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) of vitamins is an EU-recommended allowance to prevent deficiency. Some supplements contain levels of vitamins and minerals above the RDA. This is because, for some nutrients, intakes above the RDA are safe and may be associated with particular benefits. For most vitamins and minerals Upper Safe Levels have also been established so that both manufacturers and consumers can be made aware of the levels of intake which allow people to optimise their diets safely. The B vitamins and vitamin C in Berocca are water-soluble vitamins, which means you need them in your diet every day because they can’t be stored in the body for any length of time.
