[edit] 800% RDA?

On the side of the tubes, it gives the percentage one tablet provides of the RDA of that particular vitamin. In many cases it is up over 800%. Isn't this bad? Surely the RDA is the RECOMMENED daily allowance for a reason? Or is it meerely a lower limit? I would have thought having so much of each vitamin would put strain on your kidneys.

(Oh, and it isn't a decimal point error - I compared it to my pack of Cornflakes ;)

[edit] Buy

which one should i buy, effervescent or film coated tablet?

The effervescent one is better I feel... The stuff is amazing.

[edit] Berocca in North America

Why isn't Berocca sold in North America... I've heard it is not allowed for sale there because of the potential for negative effects from overusing Berocca... Is this true? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.187.69.197 (talk) 17:23, 24 January 2007 (UTC).

Probably North America has enough giant pharmacy that it needs to protect its market

(Alka-Setzer in US has something similar - look into it) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.183.41.242 (talk) 08:13, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
