This month (Feburary Care Package) MyLadyBug has teamed up with “We are HAPS” the world’s first serotonin-boosting drink to help combat low moods.

Here at MyLadybug we aim to deliver a little ‘surprise and delight’ in each care package, so when I was introduced to Rik (the founder of We are Haps), we decided to come together to help boost your Serotonin levels as well as offering you an exclusive in this months care package.

So why “We Are HAPS” and “MyLadyBug”

We all know too well that we tend to get moody right before our periods – this is due to our estrogen levels dropping and, in turn, our serotonin levels drop too. So what is Serotonin and what is it responsible for? To put it simply, serotonin is a chemical in our bodies that is responsible for making us feel happy, relaxed and self-confident. Serotonin also plays an important role in our sleep, sex drive and digestive health as well as our mood.

“It is possible that women with low levels of serotonin are more sensitive to PMS symptoms.”

What isn’t very well known is how we actively increase our serotonin levels. This brings me to the magic of “We are HAPS” . As the founder of We are HAPS, Rik, informed me, we all have this natural amino acid called 5HTP in our bodies that is recognised as a precursor to serotonin, which basically means it boosts serotonin levels by creating more serotonin.

Yayyy for 5HTP

But in order for our bodies to convert 5HTP into serotonin a chemical reaction needs to occur. This chemical reaction requires other nutrients too. Specifically Vitamins B2, B3 and B6, as well as magnesium, zinc and vitamin C[1]. However even a healthy diet is often not enough because some nutrients can’t be sourced from food. So, Rik developed HAPS SuperFruits + boosters, the world’s first Serotonin-Boosting Drink!

Key Ingredients

Griffonia seed extract (5HTP) – Naturally boosts serotonin production
