what are the winter blues?

The “winter blues” describe a seasonal slump that many people feel during autumn and winter, often triggered by shorter days, darker evenings, and colder weather. Around 10% of the population experiences this dip [1], marked by winter tiredness and a tendency to withdraw.

mental health in winter: what changes?

Reduced daylight alters two key brain chemicals: serotonin, which regulates mood, and melatonin, which controls sleep [2]. Less sunlight influences both because daylight exposure supports serotonin release, and reduced light increases melatonin, causing winter tiredness [3]

how to beat the winter blues? opt for 5-HTP

5-HTP is a natural nutrient and the direct building block of serotonin, offering an efficient way to increase serotonin levels all year round. brain feed’s 100mg 5-HTP tablets contain 99% pure 5-HTP, making them the smallest, nutrient-dense option available.

a seasonal lift: When to take 5-HTP

 5-HTP can help replenish serotonin levels.  We recommend you take 5HTP when you have an emotional need for the product. The mornings are better if you want support throughout the day.

natural 5-HTP supplement

Naturally extracted from the seeds of an African plant, 5HTP is ideal for anyone looking to increase their serotonin levels.
