I just bought some berocca as energy has been a bit low lately. I was just reading the back of the box and it says it has Phenylalanine which I know is in some cold flu relief pills and medication so not sure if it is ok for me to use? ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Hi aroha - the best thing to do is ask your MW, I took Berocca with my last to pregnancies my MW said that it is fine, something else you can try is complan, I have chocolate complan & I mix in a banana & it seems to perk me up, coz Im the queen of no energy, Hehe. Maybe ask your MW to have a Blood Test done to check your Iron levels.... Good Luck ------------- http://www.bump-and-beyond.com/">

I think berocca is fine, I drank it throughout my last pregnancy.
As far as I know, phenylalanine is only a problem if you have PKU (genetic disorder). ------------- Anna http://lilypie.com">

phenylalanine is an artificial sweetner, so OK in small amounts, and Berocca isn't horribly sweet so I'm guessing that's OK. ------------- Andie |
