Picked up 3 packs for €10.90 today. They're the original orange flavour 15 effervescent tablets. Am going to back and get 6 months worth as they're normally about €9.99. Great for hangovers and januarys in general.

Thanks for this, don't get hangovers but could do with an energy boost!:)

Just a heads up - Boots do a similar tablet called re-energise, which actually had more / higher amounts of vitamins than berocca and It is just under a fiver for 20 and they are also on the 3 for 2 permanently - so that is 60 tablets for €10 - worth checking out as an alternative to Berocca imo!

Those "orange" and "exotic" flavour ones are really just vitamin C tablets, you can get similar cheaper versions so I think their not great value, whereas the original berocca are have guarana and other boosting ingredients so I think 3 packs of those would be good/better value. Just my opinion of course

Had tried these recently and would get them again but not quiet as nice tasting as berocca.

The alternative fruit flavours to orange berocca are minging.

I'd agree though that the original berocca are more than just vitamin C tablets.
Have been taking one a day for years and I'm still alive.

Just a heads up on this. In boots 75% off sale they have football survival kits (2.99) and mum survival kits (2.37) In BOTH they have a full 20 pack of the re-energise tablets. Since the re-engerise retail at 4.99, even with the 3 for 2 offer you are saving more. And you get the other bits and pieces in the kit, football - 150 ml deo shoe spray, 16 mixed plasters, 50 ml massage oil, red card, yellow card, cooling headache pack and the re-energise. In the mum set you get meditation cd, 50 ml massage oil, eye mask, ear plugs and the re-energise. Pretty good deal if you ask me:) Quite a few of both left in big new boots in Cork City at about 3pm today.
