1 Noelene T.  · Berroca is now awful – The taste is so bad it is unpalatable. Bring back the old Berocca
1 LAW  · new berry taste is bad – can't drink it now, have been using old one for 15 years.
2 George  · Go back to old flavour – New flavour tastes wrong and leaves a horrible taste in mouth. Please revert back to the old flavour!

Never had these before so I thought I’d check the reviews, laughed when I read countless over grown kids complaining about the flavor changes. I Have it a go, the orange is perfectly fine, it tastes like orange and it does what I wanted it to do. No complaints here

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE & WHY – I've been buying Berrocca's for decades Absolutely for DECADES I bought these 2 X 3 tube boxes from Woolworths. $22.80 each on the 12th October 2021 Click and Collect Invoice number 101921151 Warringah Mall ( Westfield's) Brookvale NSW 2100 The new " original " Berroccas are poor quality They taste like watered down - I'm seriously looking for… Read more

a polite word & I cannot find one to describe how much I hate this product I did LOVE the Berry and partner liked the orange I haven't been buying non stop for decades but I can honestly state I bought these when I first heard about them around 1974 DECADES I know that they weren't new then I LOVED the Berry and have always liked Berry I always buy the 3 tubes per box The Orange looks weaker and the Berry IS weaker and has a disgusting taste WHY DID YOU DO THIS? WHY ? I cannot believe that I now am forced to purchase elsewhere because #Roche decided to change the formula Please don't tell me it hasn't changed You're either buying from a different supplier or you've altered the formula or -BOTH Either way - it's disgusting BOTH have changed and I won't be buying either again Other than the attached photos - from Woolworths app and SMS as proof of purchase, I don't believe I have a receipt. I think I might have an email receipt - if not ticked as verified buyer, I shall endeavour to locate. Roche need to address this - IMHO This is a massive problem PHOTOS are of the BERRY flavour - not the Orange flavour That's a small glass and that's supposed to be BERRY

NOT HAPPY ROCHE

Helpful to give that boost for the day – I try and take one every day after feeling sluggish and lethargic at work. It really helps with focus, motivation and alertness. Well worth the money. Give it a go. Show details

My substitute to coffee – I have never been a big coffee person, so instead I drink berocca on days when I really feel tired (I work nightshifts) so when I have to be up day aswell I always drink either flavour of berocca (i prefer the mango and orange one) and it takes away my headache, it stops me from feeling sliggish and slow, Im still tired however its bearable.

not caffeine, so you won't get a huge rush of energy, but you also wont have the downsides effects that caffeine gives you. I absolutely love berocca

I have been using it for two weeks and it has changed my life – I have been very tired throughout my whole life and had no idea how to deal with this. I started drinking berocca and I have noticed a significant difference in how I’ve been feeling. Show details

New recipe formula is disgusting – The new recipe orange flavour is terrible, tastes disgusting and leaves a horrible taste in your mouth. I have stored buying this after 20 years of almost taking one daily. The whole family hates it too. I hope they go back to the original recipe soon! Show details

New flavour Berocca – I used to love the flavour of berry Berocca and it was a pleasant way to get my B vitamins. The flavour now is dreadful and I won’t be buying it anymore. Show details

The New Formula is horrible – I have been taking the orange berocca daily for 15 years now and loved the taste, but the new formula is horrible - it tastes metallic, like chemicals and not at all sweet. I won't be buying berocca again and don't understand why, when you had such a great product, you had to change it. I will now be looking for alternatives, and I'm sure I'm not the only one doing this. (Also did you do any product testing before launching the new formula?) Show details

Barocca Mind – Hello to all the “bad taste” reviewers I’ve read here. Yes it tastes different to the other Barocca because of the Sage ingredient. Personally I don’t mind it and after a couple of days it’s become an aquired taste. Definitely can feel it kick in and thumbs up from me. Show details

New formula of Berocca is disgusting – Why have you changed a fantastic product which I take every morning? I would really like to know this. The new taste is awful, it tastes and smells like medicine, yuk. Go back to the old formula.

New Berocca Tastes Gross – I'm not sure who's bright idea it was to change the formula of Berocca after all these years, but they made a gigantic error. Why fix something that's not broken? I have been drinking Berocca regularly since I was a kid, but I can 100% guarantee that I will never be purchasing it again. It is undrinkable now. I wasted $22 on a 3-pack of this and it's getting thrown in the bin. Absolutely disgusting taste.

The new taste is revolting – I was having a berocca every day. I am now switching to the Aldi brand, which I wasn't buying before because of the taste - was happy to pay more for the Berocca product but not now. Really disappointed. Show details

What’s happened to Berocca? – I’ve used this product for years and today I bought a new box (yes 45 of them!). And the taste is utterly disgusting. Felt like I was drinking metallic chemicals and now can’t get the taste out of my mouth. Please go back to the original recipe. That’s $22 down the drain for me. Show details

Berocca taste is disgusting! – What happened to the taste of Berocca? It is simple disgusting. It tastes like it's been pumped with chemicals. Now I'm stuck with 45 pack that I can't take & I can't afford to waste money as I'm on disability pension. Shame on you Berocca! Oh and thanks for the lack of response when I tried to contact you! Show details

New formula is horrid – I used to have Berocca approximately once per day; partially for the vitamins, but more for the placebo helping me wake up, and to have a nice tasting bevvie in the morning. Good way of making yourself drink some water, too. The new formula is bitter, and when you get down near the bottom of the glass, downright revolting. Their site FAQ says… Read more

the taste change is mainly owed to replacing aspartame with sucralose (I assume due to sucralose being cheaper to source, considering Aldi's much cheaper knock-off Berocca is sweetened with sucralose as well), and wow, what an absolutely terrible decision. It's completely ruined. I'm guessing most people who buy Berocca are looking for a hangover cure, or are supplement-obsessed people who may be willing to stomach the awful taste, so I don't have much hope in it impacting their sales enough for them to change it back.

I'm finishing off the tube of the old Berocca that I have left, then never buying it again. RIP.

The new formula berocca tastes awful – The new formula berocca tastes awful! It leaves a horrible taste in the back of my throat that even brushing and mouth wash can’t get rid of. I can’t bring myself to use up the ones I have left. I will miss the benefits of taking them but I just can’t deal with the taste. Show details

Go back to the old formula – I like others have used your product for years. WILL NO LONGER at first I thought I had a bad batch it tastes so bad, looks so bad and doesn’t fizz up like it did. Went and brought another pack and soon realised that you have changed the formula. Taking back to the supermarket and will never buy again. Your loss.

Change for the worse – I have been having Berocca daily for years and always enjoyed the flavour of the orange variety. This "New Formula" tastes bad, is less effervescent, is paler in color. Just not as good as it was and I struggle to drink it. I am seriously looking for an alternative product.

Have had Berocca DAILY for years - recent changes taste revolting, and half the Vitamin C? – "New Formula" listed on corner of box. Now tastes far more strongly of articificial sweeteners (a.k.a "poison"), tastes weak, looks insipid, and is it true that the Vitamin C content has been halves from 1000mg to 500mg? I can't find an old package to check what it was, but it certainly is only 500 now. Will never buy again after daily use for… Read more

The new formula tastes bad to my wife and I... so bad that we thought it was a knock off, lacks the strong orange taste and weaker colour looks like a no name, pale looking verses the old, and smells funny when compared to old formula. This will be the last time… Read more

I will be buy Berocca after 25 years. Try something else like Voost.... anything else to compare. I do miss the part where you unwrapped the tables and the yummy smell.... now its a plastic smell and the shelf life less. You have messed with the Berocca tablet and container too much, now it looks and tastes cheaper the the super market brands. Shop around customers...

This tastes horrible – I brought this on the advice of a friend and wished I had looked at the reviews first. It tastes nasty, I wasted $21 on a 45 tablet pack. Really disappointed in myself for not trying it first. Also I thought by law you have to list all the ingredients on the packaging, saying there is artificial sweetener, colour and flavor without stating what… Read more

type they are is dishonest (some are dangerous and some are not). Clearly you dont want your customers to know what is really in them.

Acid Reflux – I suffered significant acid reflux, intense gastrointestinal and breathing issues after taking this "supplement". Best described as an ongoing and agonising inflammatory/chemical burn sensation. I do not recommend this product.

HORRIBLE – In my opinion it tastes horrible and contains questionable artificial sweeteners. Experienced a host of painful stomach and oesophagus symptoms after using this for a very short period of time.

Love it but can we lose the silver foil to help cut down on waste? – Love Berocca, it stops me getting mouth ulcers but it would be better for environment if you did away with the silver foil, I don't think it's warranted. Thanks for helping save the world (even if it's just a little bit)! Show details

Meh meh – Has had no noticeable difference on my health. After reading a few independent reviews it appears there could be more harm than good in these vitamin type drinks. Probably best to just stick to real food! Show details
