When the sun rarely comes out in winter, many people's zest for life dwindles. Tiredness becomes a constant companion and we suffer from the so-called winter blues. No wonder, because when the days are short and the nights are long, our bodies produce large amounts of the sleep hormone melatonin. So, to a certain extent, it is quite normal to feel tired, listless and really listless.

You become more susceptible to infections

Sometimes, however, the winter blues just won't go away and our mood remains at rock bottom. Those affected are astonished to discover that a second or third infection has struck in a short space of time, that their nerves are on edge and that they fly off the handle at the slightest thing. Sleep at night is not very restful, often accompanied by previously unknown, inexplicable and diffuse pain. "I can't get up properly" or "I just don't feel like I used to" are common complaints. Experts warn of a veritable spiral of exhaustion from which it is often almost impossible to escape without outside help and which can lead to the dreaded burnout.

Cause: vitamin B deficiency

If the exhaustion lasts for a long time, the body loses its ability to regenerate in the long term and the symptoms worsen. So, powerless and despondent through the winter? Not a particularly pleasant idea. But there is a way out: a vitamin B deficiency is often the cause of chronic fatigue. If you are experiencing such a spiral of exhaustion in your own body, if you feel trapped in the winter blues, you should not hesitate to ask your doctor for advice.

New momentum after the cure

A special combination of B vitamins can counteract this. During this four-week rebuilding cure, the doctor gives the body the dose of B vitamins it needs twice a week for a sustainable recovery. The simultaneous administration of folic acid together with B6 and B12 is likely to be decisive for success. Positive effects are often noticeable after the first dose, as the active ingredients are injected directly into the bloodstream. 90 percent of patients feel much more energetic and refreshed after the regeneration treatment, 95 percent of doctors rate the effectiveness as good to very good.
